Switching?

I was on building a vending machine app with swift 2 when this course out. Should I switch track, or stay on Swift 2? Also, if I do switch what course in Swift 3 should I switch too?

I'm also following the Swift 2.0 track and I'm not going to switch to the Swift 3.0 track. At least, not yet. Switching "back to basics" would be a waste of your precious time. Once the more advanced courses which you didn't take yet start coming out, it'll be worth switching. What you learn in the Swift 2.0 course is still very relevant and applicable.

The most obvious differences between Swift 2 and 3 are changes in the names of the Cocoa API. But if you have the latest version of Xcode, it will tell you when a name you are using has changed and Xcode will provide a nice "quick fix" to fix it for you. Apart from that, you can easily convert Swift 2 to Swift 3 by going to Edit > Convert > To Current Swift Syntax…
