My brother has been using swift to learn some programming.
I don't have a mac, let alone iTunes.
Is there a legal way for me to download/purchase a manual to help him with his progress?

It'll let you run Swift code from your browser. The Learn page gives you a short run down of some features as well (I'm in the middle of writing up content for it, what's there now is a placeholder really, just the basics) and links to more documentation from Apple.
That's what I was looking for. Really appreciate it.
iOS/Xcode as a first programming environment is really odd and foreign to me, but my brother seemed excited about it, and I want to encourage him. He's really talented, he could be amazing as a software engineer if he ever wanted to be one.
Beware, some of the vids are probably out-dated. It was my experience that every version of XCode6beta that came out broke my app with syntax or object-access type changes. I just downloaded XCode6GM and a bunch of stuff I was doing with "as NSArray" forced me to do "as? NSArray". And self.navigationController.navigationBar needed a "?" appended to controller, otherwise you'd get the very confusing build error saying something like "navigationController has no member called navigationBar".
And thanks for the code conversion tips :)
A good place to start with python would be the Introduction to Computer Science course on Udacity.

If you are interested in ML, I can recommend taking the Programming Languages course on Coursera after the python course.
