Apple Trains Chicago Teachers To Put Coding In More Classrooms (engadget.com)

Apple has unveiled a partnership with Northwestern University and public schools to help teachers bring programming and other forms of computer science into Chicago-area classrooms. "The trio will set up a learning hub at Lane Tech College Prep High School that will introduce high school teachers to Apple's Everyone Can Code curriculum," reports Engadget. "They'll also have the option to train in an App Development with Swift course to boost the number of high school-oriented computer science teachers. Teachers will also have options for in-school coaching and mentorship to make sure they're comfortable with the curriculum when they're in front of actual students."

It's about teaching how to use Swift . . . a "programming" language that is a proprietary technology that belongs to Apple.
Uh...No.

The web pages, not the language. Swift is an open-source project. You can check it out of the repository, build it yourself, modify it, etc, etc.
