BasicsUsing SwiftUI Effects Library: How to Add Particle Effects to iOS AppsIntroducing - Swift cheatsheet - The.Swift.Dev.This episode is something special. According to the stats of my podcast hosting provider, this is my 200th episode. And what a ride I had between this episode and my previous one. My last episode was published two and a half weeks ago. And a lot of things happened since then.I was still preparing for Do iOS on November 3 and 4.Had a weekend I kept going over my notes for Do iOS.Then the Do iOS workshop started with Daniel Steinberg and I was collecting and bringing some of the material we needed for Do iOS to Amsterdam. For lunch, I stopped at the workshop to check in on things and talk to a few people to get the vibe of the crowd at the workshop. It was pretty good.Then it was November 8. Do iOS day. I was the stage host the entire day, but we started with onboarding everyone at the door. I spoke a few words with all attendees at registration. Then an entire day of talks, making sure catering was taken care of, taking care of little issues. And making sure we kept a good pace. At the end we had a nice social drink with all attendees and a typical small Dutch snack.Evening of the first conf day, we had a sort of casual diner, and it got a bit out of hand. We raided a restaurant and stressed out kitchen staff with such a big unannounced group. We smoothed this one over by indicating to prioritize other tables and to serve all my guest's food when ready. So we all ate a bit out of band with each other, but it actually allowed for people to listen for a while when they were eating.The second conf day came quickly, I slept in the hotel, so travel was a nonissue. After breakfast, we had to start up the room and get ready for all attendees again. Since we badged everyone, this was a much easier thing compared to the day before. The day went quickly, and before we knew it, we were sending people off again with a big farewell.The next 4 days after the conf I can't remember anymore what I did. My notes tell me they were all useful things. But after such an intense set of days, I needed time to catch my breath again. But soon had to close up the bookkeeping of Do iOS. It had a small positive financial result, exactly as intended.Meanwhile, the whole Twitter thing unfolded, so I've been taking a long hard look at Mastodon, and I think it is starting to grow on me. Initially, it was all so similar but strange to me, I couldn't make heads or tails out of it. But I think there is some true value in there. So I am curious to find out what Mastodon will be to my online circle a couple of months from now.

Send me a textCounting down to Do iOS. At the time of this recording, I have almost two weeks to go, but it sure feels like it is happening tomorrow. Sending out messages to all attendees and speakers, making sure roll-up banners are ordered, putting together staff briefings for the Do iOS team and for the catering team, and preparing "filler" slides for when speakers are switching. Hotel bookings for team members. It is just a lot of small bits that all need to happen. I must say I feel very well organized and prepared. I think in large part that's due to my note-taking in Obsidian. Recently I showed what I have for notes to a colleague of mine and he was quite taken aback by the amount of stuff I write down. And I feel like I only capture half of all I want to capture.In this episode, I’m going to talk about:Thoughts on SwiftUI vs UIKitThree Ways to Refactor Massive SwiftUI ViewsMastering NavigationSplitView in SwiftUIHow to create NSManagedObject subsclasses for Core Data entities in XcodeRefactoring Swift: Best Practices to succeedJoin me in Amsterdam for Do iOS 2025, tickets and details available now.

Send me a textIt is already two weeks since my previous episode. The one I did in the hotel room in Denver. It really feels like a distant memory already. So much stuff happened again in two weeks. My son's bedroom furniture got delivered. He now has a pirate themed bedroom, inclusing a shark desk, ship-bed / bed-ship and a treasure chest. I am not jealous at his room. Nope not at all. You can imagine we are now in a talk-like-a-pirate day streak here at home.Last week my voice was quite bad, I had a weird cold that was not causing too much discomfort. Except for my voice. It was raspy and if I talked too much I was coughing a lot. Not ideal for a podcast recording. So I decided to skip. I had plenty of other things to do anyway. Like a conference…I am super excited to announce that for Do iOS on November 8 and 9, tickets are available, we have the first 6 speakers announced.This week’s articles.Generate a man page for a Swift command-line toolIntroducing MarkCodableExploring SwiftUI Redraw Behavior with Instruments - Holy SwiftAccessibility in SwiftUI explained for UIKit developers - SwiftLeeVoiceOver navigation improvement tips for SwiftUI apps - SwiftLeeThe SwiftUI render loopHow to build a configurable widget with WidgetKit and SwiftUIMost important is to go to do-ios.com for all information related to Do iOS.

Send me a text360iDev 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.Join me in Amsterdam for Do iOS 2025, tickets and details available now.

Send me a textTwo weeks since my previous episode. I had my reasons. My family and I went on a trip visiting family in Luxemburg. We slept over monday till friday and I was just not able to record an episode.Of those two weeks the first one was quite warm in the Netherlands. We actually had the first heatwave in the Netherlands this year. year. Nothing too terrible temperature wise, but the related drought is no fun. Again not as bad as other parts of the world, but it is noticable everywhere you go. Also, upstairs, where I record my podcast episodes is not a fun place to be with these temperatures.As mentioned, the second week was family time, which was a really fun time. I got to spend the entire week with my family with dedicated attention without having work in he back of my mind too much.Not thinking about work is hard right now. Only a few days from now I am travelling to Denver to visit 360iDev. I still want to do a lot of checks on my slides and presentation. I am going to be representing Stream there, so… No pressure, right?Considering my travel plans for the next week, I am unsure how/when I will be able to do episode 89. I actually might do something with my DJI Mic while I am in the US. It sounds like a great opportunity to do some fun recordings that are immediatly usable for my podcast. Who knows.

Send me a textRight after my vacation it was heads down mode again. At my work, we had a sort of restructuring of the group I am a part of. And this meant a lot of things have changed in how my day to day looks. I now lead developer experience at Stream within Developer Relations. This involved setting up a lot of project related things. From Developer Experience we work very closely with developer advocacy and because of this we chose to set up a shared task board. This way we can easily hand over work or share the workload for specific tasks.I already had a lot of podcast work I needed to do last week, so I couldn’t fit a recording session for my regular episode. But, I do have a really cool special episode I did with Josh Holtz from RevenueCat. Keep an eye out for that one later this week. If all goes well, it should be done soon. For reasons I am not sharing yet, I put in some extra effort to the RevenueCat episode.
