Workshops
Understanding Function Composition with Setters
Stephen Celis
In this workshop we'll take a different approach to explore the foundations of functional programming: by focusing on functions and how they compose. We'll get comfortable with composition by defining and working with various operators, build an intuition for how function signatures connect, and bring things down to earth with some real-world applications for simplifying and improving your everyday code.
Adding Cryptocurrency Support to your iOS App
Tamar Nachmany, Zeina Amhaz, Matias Seijas
This workshop will be a chance for iOS engineers interested in the intersection of Ethereum and mobile to learn about supporting Ethereum transactions on iOS. We’ll leave time for people to discuss what they’re working on, so both beginners and people already working on Ethereum-iOS projects are welcome!
Kotlin: Through the looking glass
Jon Bott
Have you ever needed to consume a cross-platform library such as Charts for iOS and keep parity with your Android teammates? Or perhaps you've been curious about porting your app to Android, but don't want to deal with Java. Well, the good news is you can do this easily because you already know Kotlin - you just need some hands-on experience and to learn about the few small differences. Come take a look at how easy it is to learn Kotlin, build an android app, and find out what the hype is all about! It ain't all roses, but it _is_ a beautiful thing!
Making your app more accessible
Bas Broek
Go hands on with the accessibility APIs to make your app a better experience for everyone. By first exploring the different ways we can use our devices with the accessibility tools, you can get an idea of what it is like to use these tools, and where an app needs work to improve it. Work either on your own app or one of the great open source apps to improve your app for all users.
Deploying Your First Vapor API
Tanner Nelson & Logan Wright
This workshop is designed to help guide you through the deploy of your first Vapor API. We'll cover the basics of getting started with a new project, show some of the finer points of an API with Vapor, and ultimately, we'll cover how to deploy your project to the cloud. Let's be honest, building websites is cool, but until you have it live in the cloud, it always feels like something's missing. Come spend the day with Tanner Nelson and Logan Wright to learn more.
Augmented Reality using ARKit
Berta Devant
In this workshop, we will be building a tag championship game using the world map from ARKit 2, a small cooperative game using AR object in space where every participant shares the same world and reality. During the workshop attendees will not only learn how to share world AR experiences through ARKit 2 but also how to render 3D models, have objects react to proximity of users and use a 3D scene to build an AR experience.
Build a Cloud-Native Swift App
Chris Bailey & Ian Partridge
In this workshop you'll learn the fundamentals of cloud-native technologies like Docker and Kubernetes, and build and deploy a real server-side Swift microservice into a production cloud cluster. By first building a RESTful API in Kitura, we'll add in database persistence, monitoring, scaling and failover. Sounds complicated? We provide the tools and APIs to make it easy. Learn some key skills, and get on the road to being a full-stack engineer.
