Stanford University has an excellent Programming Course for iOS. It is in iTunesU on the iPad and can be found in various places on the internet. It assumes Object Oriented Programming experience.

The instructor does not recommend it. You don't have to enroll. All the videos and material are just available in iTunesU. The class is cs193p at Stanford.

If you are using Playgrounds... then I'm sorry to say that it does not surprise me that it crashed. The Playgrounds are a major disappointment for many of us when it comes to experimenting swift ideas. However you can also use the terminal and run swift from the command line which is far more robust but has a less eye candy user interface.
@Orion98mc - thanks, yes you are absolutely correct I was using playground as it was what the tutorial started at the site, its just my first few hours with swift , hope to learn more ...
Your name suggests that you’re from India, and if so, I’d recommend joining the Swift India Slack. There are lots of folks with various amounts of experience there, and they also organise meet-ups in a few cities.
