A repo with the talks I've given at conferences, etc
Swift Summit 2015: Back to the Futures
Presentation on the problems with traditional asynchronous, callback-based APIs in Objective-C, NSError
-based error handling, and how we can do both a lot better in Swift, for example, by implementing a simple Future
API.
RACDC 2015: RAC3, A Real World Use Case (aka ReactiveChess)
Overview of how WatchChess was implemented using ReactiveCocoa 3.0, sharing a few tricks that I learned during its development.
NSMeetup San Francisco - July 2015: Swift Sync and Async Error Handling
Showing some of the problems with traditional synchronous and asynchronous error handling in Objective-C, and how we can do better in Swift with Result
, some kind of Future
API, and comparing it with the new Swift 2 throws
syntax.
iOS Conf Singapore - October 2015: Swift Sync and Async Error Handling
Showing some of the problems with traditional synchronous and asynchronous error handling in Objective-C, and how we can do better in Swift with Result
, some kind of Future
API, and comparing it with the new Swift 2 throws
syntax.
Swift Summit San Francisco - October 2015: Asynchronous Code with ReactiveCocoa
Introduction to the ideas behind ReactiveCocoa, and why they're valuable.
Swift User Group - April 2016: Building Fabric.app in Swift
Collection to tidbits about the things I learned while building the Fabric app
RACDC 2016: Building Fabric.app with ReactiveCocoa
Overview of how the Fabric App was built by taking advantage of some of ReactiveCocoa's features.
NSSpain 2016: Building Fabric.app in Swift
Overview of some of the technical decisions made during the development of the Fabric app for iOS.

Swift Summit San Francisco - November 2016: Rubik's Cubes and Genetic Algorithms in Swift
Genetic Algorithms are a fascinating way of solving problems in computer science which lie in between programming and biology. I implemented one in Swift to solve Rubik's Cubes, and you won't believe what happened next.
