Send us a Text Message.I've been scheduling a few interviews again. It's interesting to see that people are often quite self-deprecating about being a good candidate to be interviewed on my podcast. People can always indicate why they are not exciting guests, but let's start at the opposite end. Think about why you would be a good guest for my podcast. And I notice that a lot. People often start with the negative. Why not start with the positive, I wonder?In this episode I am going to talk about many things:The new book published by Peter FrieseMinimal Node Integration to Get You Started with StreamMerge Sort In Swiftif let shorthand syntax in SwiftImplementing “double tap tab bar to scroll to top”Variadic ViewsSwiftUI Views are ListsHow to use async/await with completion handlersAmbiguous DecodingModern SwiftUI: Identified arraysSearch | kean.blogDeveloper guide on keychain for iOSIterating over web socket messages with async / await in SwiftNSURLSession connection leakGaining access to Command-line from XCTestRunwayPut your mobile releases on autopilot and keep the whole team in sync throughout.
