Articles and podcasts about Swift development, by John Sundell.
Presented by the Genius Scan SDK
Tim Condon joins John to discuss how both client and server-side Swift developers could utilize the new built-in concurrency system, as well as how distributed actors and other upcoming language features might continue to make Swift even more capable on the server.
Dave Verwer and Sven A. Schmidt join John to talk about their newly launched Swift Package Index, and what the overall state of Swift’s package ecosystem currently is. Also, dependency management, composing libraries, deploying server-side Swift in production, and much more.
Starting with Xcode 11, the Swift Package Manager is becoming a true first class citizen within Apple’s suite of developer tools. Let’s take a look at how it can be used to manage a project’s various dependencies.
Max Howell, creator of Homebrew and PromiseKit, joins John to talk about package manager design, asynchronous programming, interview processes, and also to tell some stories of how the Swift Package Manager was born.
David Hart, regular contributor to the Swift Package Manager, joins John to discuss the present and future of the SwiftPM project - how to get started both using and contributing to it, and how it lets the community build tools on top of it.
In my first ever tutorial, I'll provide a step-by-step guide for building a command line tool using the Swift Package Manager, sharing some learnings from when I built Marathon.
