I've downloaded Swift Playgrounds on my MacBook Air but it seems to be for children to start out. My question is does Apple offer a free coding class for beginner adults ?
I don't think that they do, but there is a complete Swift Programming book you can get through the Books app. You might call your local Apple Store to see if they conduct any programming courses. Also, check local colleges for adult ed classes in programming.
Swift Playgrounds is for children but it is a great introduction to the logic of program regardless of age. I haven't looked at Swift books recently so I don't have any opinion on good ones. I teach intro to programming where I use Python and use John Zelle's Python: An Introduction to Computer Science. It is a pretty good academic book but I think it is approachable for beginners who have some understanding of programming logic (that's where Swift Playgrounds come's in handy). While most of my students are aiming for computer science or engineering degrees, each semester I generally have a couple adults who are simply interested in learning to program.
