Getting started in Swift
Swift was introduced WWDC 2014, there are beginner, intermediate, advanced WWDC videos -- check out the first one
Playgrounds were introduced at the same time, a playground lets you code Swift "hit the ground running" style. Check out the playground video.
Download Xcode 7 beta then you can use Swift 2.0
Get the Apple Swift book. It starts off with a playground taking you through quickly through what Swift has to offer. Get the swift 2 version & go through the playground!
