Writing this a bit late, but Day 5 was the best day so far for me. Why? Because I applied for a SwiftUI lab session and was lucky enough to get one! But before we get to that… I’m a person that struggles a lot with anxiety. Mostly around social situations, my anxiety has been… Continue reading WWDC 2021 – Day 5

WWDC 2021 – Day 3
Today has been all about SwiftUI as I watched the excellent Demystifying SwiftUI session, and then hung out in the SwiftUI lounge as Apple engineers answered questions about what was in the session. And right now I am back in the SwiftUI lounge where a couple of engineers are answering questions about building SwiftUI itself.… Continue reading WWDC 2021 – Day 3
WWDC 2021 – Day 2
We got the first recap video today and Serenity Caldwell knocked it out of the (Apple) park. Watching the brief-yet-info-dense recap got me excited all over again about what’s in store for this week and beyond. Already the Apple dev community is cranking out content. My personal favourite so far is tuning into Paul Hudson’s… Continue reading WWDC 2021 – Day 2

And just like that the Keynote and Platforms State of the Union are over for another year.

I particularly liked the Maps enhancements around… Continue reading WWDC 2021 – Day 1

But not just because of the global pandemic – Apple touts inclusiveness as one of… Continue reading WWDC 2021 – Pre-Conference Thoughts
WWDC 2021 Wish List
WWDC 2021 kicks off next week and there are a few things I am hoping to hear about. Here’s my wish list for WWDC 2020 for comparison. SwiftData! The mythical beast of persistence, the talk of which persists. I am hoping for something that merges the functionality of the magnificent GRBD SQLite library with native… Continue reading WWDC 2021 Wish List
WWDC 2020 Wishlist
WWDC 2020 is now only a few hours away and here’s a list of things I’m hoping to see. SwiftUI 2.0! When SwiftUI was announced last year it rocked my world! Hyperbole, perhaps, but the paradigm that SwiftUI is ushering in makes iOS app development a joy for me. I’d like to see app navigation… Continue reading WWDC 2020 Wishlist
