Recorded from a hotel room in Denver
360iDev has been an enjoyable experience thus far. I still have the final day of the conference ahead of me when I record this. But I must say, it is awesome seeing so many familiar faces. The weird thing is, I'm seeing most of them for the very first time in real life. Special shoutout to Josh, Azam, Mikaela and Leo. It is great to be able to meet you, for real finally. What I also noticed is how different the conferences are. I've been to AppDevCon, SwiftHeroes, Techorama.be and 360iDev this year and each had a totally different vibe. And each had its own strengths. Experiencing these conferences reaffirmed my resolve to push for another edition of the Do iOS conference in November. I got the first offer letter from a venue and am awaiting a second to ensure I get a good deal on the whole thing. A fun thing to know about organizing an event, the room is a small line item compared to the catering. Once I have the venue booked it is time to do some final number crunching and decide on a ticket price. It will probably be a lot lower than you might expect, which makes me super happy.This week’s articles.PSA: iOS 16 is a huge opportunity to promote your appLock screen widgets in SwiftUIBuilding widgets for iOS applications with WidgetKit and SwiftUIA Beginner's Guide to NavigationSplitView in SwiftUI for iOS 16Custom Metrics with MetricKitHow to capitalize the first letter in SwiftExtensionKit and XPCSharing cross-platform code in SwiftUI appsMaterial for 360iDev.RunwayPut your mobile releases on autopilot and keep the whole team in sync throughout.
