Architecting SwiftUI apps with MVC and MVVM: Although you can create an app simply by throwing some code together, without best practices and a robust architecture, you’ll soon end up with unmanageable spaghetti code. Learn how to create solid and maintainable apps with fewer bugs using this free guide.
Embedding SwiftUI views within UIKit-based view controllers.
Using a dedicated protocol to make it easy to define new containers.
Importing UIKit-based views and view controllers into SwiftUI.
A look at the various sorting APIs that the Swift standard library offers, and how could also augment those APIs in order to make more advanced sorting tasks easier to perform.
How custom Combine operators and convenience APIs can be implemented using extensions, and how doing so can let us eliminate common sources of boilerplate when implementing things like networking and data validation.
Daniel Steinberg joins John to discuss how various functional programming patterns can be adopted in Swift, and how many of those patterns can be found in both the standard library and in frameworks like Combine and SwiftUI.
James Thomson, creator of PCalc, returns to the show to discuss how developers can bring their apps to multiple Apple platforms using technologies like Catalyst and SwiftUI, and how and when it can be a good idea to share code across platforms.
A neat technique for values that can’t be created with a single line of code.
Using a dedicated protocol to make it easy to define new containers.
Combining dynamic and constant output values.
Let’s take a look at how Swift’s key paths work, and how they relate to functions — both in terms of what comes built into the language itself, and what kind of utilities that we can write ourselves to form some really nice convenience APIs.
Let’s take a look at the role that controllers play within the MVC design pattern, and how we can avoid some of the most common issues when working with them — particularly around how we can break up Massive View Controllers into smaller building blocks.
An introduction to Swift’s type inference system, how it makes the syntax of the language so lightweight, and how to work around some of its limitations.
In this Basics article, let’s take a look at a few examples of the various kinds of properties that Swift supports, and what their characteristics are.
