Roxana Jula joins John to discuss Apple’s various tools, frameworks, and APIs for building Augmented Reality experiences. How to get started building AR-based apps, what’s the current state of AR on Apple’s platforms, and how might that change if Apple were to introduce dedicated AR hardware in the future? Stream: Build scalable in-app chat or […]
This does require a wee bit of prep, so if you are a salad person, I suggest doubling it and having the components on hand to make this salad a few times throughout the week. Everything saves well. I’ve added grilled chicken or salmon or toss extra firm squares of tofu in oil and coconut […]
* Base 2 Last week at 360iDev I hosted the 8th edition of Stump 360. Stump is an evening event that, to my surprise as much as anyone else’s, has become a tradition at 360iDev. What is Stump 360? Stump started as an unofficial spin-off of “Stump the Experts” at Apple WWDC, which ran for […]
While cleaning is traditionally a spring activity, let me invite you to do it at the end of summer this time around. Note: Yes, I’m still using Groovy because I never found a compelling reason to upgrade to Kotlin DSL 🤷 Something I’m quite enthusiastic about is having the simplest and most default Gradle configuration […]

Antiracist economist Kim Crayton says that “intention without strategy is chaos.” We’ve discussed how our biases, assumptions, and inattention toward marginalized and vulnerable groups lead to dangerous and unethical tech—but what, specifically, do we need to do to fix it? The intention to make our tech safer is not enough; we need a strategy. Article […]
When iterating over any Swift collection using a standard for loop, there are two key components that decide what elements that will be passed into our iteration code — a sequence, and an iterator. For example, Swift’s standard Array type is a sequence, and uses IndexingIterator as its iterator type. While we very often interact […]
The work of writing maintainable code is an ongoing endeavor and some of my favorite problems to solve are ones that build maintainable systems. Maintainable systems are ones you can learn once, easily manipulate, and ideally take from project to project. My favorite part of building maintainable systems is that it minimizes the amount of […]
Antoine van der Lee, creator of SwiftLee, joins John to discuss the new language features that are being introduced as part of Swift 5.5 — from the brand new concurrency system, to convenience features and various improvements. Stream: Build scalable in-app chat or activity feeds in record time using Stream’s open source, Swift-native SDK that’s […]
New in Swift 5.5: It’s now possible to define protocol APIs that let us use Swift’s very convenient “dot syntax” to create conforming instances, which in turn can make certain protocols act more like enums, while still retaining all of the flexibility that protocols give us. For example, when applying a style to a SwiftUI […]
