The Swift Weekly Brief has been a fantastic resource for many years now, and one thing I love about it is that it’s not just dependent on one person producing it. In this post, Bas announces that he is stepping down and that the brief will no longer arrive by email. However, it will continue! If you’re not yet reading it - and I don’t know how that’s possible, it’s the perfect complement to this newsletter. You should subscribe via RSS now that the email is gone.
I want to say a huge thank you to Bas, and everyone who has contributed to the brief over the years, and an even bigger one to Kristaps Grinbergs who will continue writing it.
I’m not sure I can see this becoming more than a curiosity, but if you’re not afraid of a few sharp edges and want to build with Swift on Windows. Off you go! Of course, now I’ve said that it means it’ll be the most popular platform for Swift within 6 months. 😂
I’m not afraid of long class names, but if you’re working on a large project, then you might find yourself getting overwhelmed as you try to find another variation of a class name that isn’t already in use. Or you could read this post from Joe Fabisevich instead.
If someone told me they had written 1,500 words on Label
, the new SwiftUI control that places an image next to a text label, I’d struggle to believe them. As with most Apple APIs though, there’s more to this view than meets the eye. Let Federico Zanetello show you.
Yes, this post from Joe Masilotti is about a web app rather than an iOS app, but the principles are just the same. That’s not to say that every app should be built in a month, but there’s value in proving demand with an MVP and getting a paying customer is a good first step. 👍
As an independent developer, it’s easy to get tied up feature development, and it takes serious discipline to stick to a regular release schedule. It’s even harder if you have multiple apps. I enjoyed this post from Matthias Gansrigler on the problem, and how he’s planning keep on top of it.
I really enjoy Kevin Renskers’s book reviews. They’re thorough and honest. If you hadn’t yet pushed the button on Thinking in SwiftUI, then this might change your mind.
