This week, let’s take a look at a few different ways of configuring views when using SwiftUI, and the sort of pros and cons that each of those approaches gives us in terms of code structure and flexibility.
Meng To, founder of Design+Code, joins John to go on a deep dive into SwiftUI from a design perspective, and to talk about how developers and designers can build scalable and flexible UIs using it. Also, structuring view code and components, the power of modifiers, and how SwiftUI compares to other UI tools and platforms.
On this special Stacktrace cross-over episode of the show, Gui Rambo joins John to talk about building custom developer tools, how open Apple’s tooling really is, writing “Swifty” code versus shipping great user experiences, and much more.

Various ways of conditionally creating SwiftUI views that depend on optional values.
A quick look at one of Swift 5.2’s small but really useful new features.
Let’s take a look at how SwiftUI’s various stacks and spacers can be used to achieve many kinds of flexible, adaptive layouts with very little code. While SwiftUI does include several more advanced layout APIs, stacks and spacers are a great starting point for most UIs.
In the second episode of Swift Clips, we’ll take a look at the DispatchQueue API, and how we can use it to write concurrent and asynchronous code in Swift.
Let’s explore how optional values work in Swift, including how they’re implemented under the hood, and what sort of techniques that we can use to handle them.
An overview of Swift’s five different levels of access control, how they work, and when each of them might be useful in practice.
