Topic - MVVM at Scale: Not so Simple Speaker - Nataliya Patsovska Twitter - https://twitter.com/nataliya_bg Bio - After graduating as a software engineer, Nataliya focused on iOS development for more than 4 years, recently as a member of the mobile team at Spotify. Her passion about testing and maintainability in general drove a lot of the talks she did as part of her jobs. Now she is keen to share more broadly her personal reflections and experiences and to elaborate on those with the Swift community. Abstract - As Swift grew in popularity in recent years, so has MVVM - with many talks and tutorials singing its praises. As a community, we love to talk about design patterns but we should get better at understanding the problems, not focusing on the concrete solutions. MVVM defines some principles and leaves a lot of uncertainty when applied to real-world iOS cases. In this talk, we will see how these work in practice and step away from the reactive dogma to focus on the roles defined by the pattern. try! Swift NYC Twitter - https://twitter.com/tryswiftnyc try!

Topic - Error Handling Made Easy Speakers - Eleni Papanikolopoulou & Kostas Kremizas Eleni’s Twitter - https://twitter.com/kostaskremizas Kostas’s Twitter - https://twitter.com/elenipapanikolo Eleni’s Bio - Eleni Papanikolopoulou is an iOS Developer at Workable, an innovative recruiting software company. She is from Athens, Greece and holds a Masters degree in CS and IT Management from University of Manchester, UK. She started her developing career as a Java engineer but converted to Swift when contributing in Pobuca, a contact management app. She is an advocate of RxSwift for solving tough asynchronous-like problems and currently working in developing Error Handler, an open-source Swift framework. When she doesn’t work, she enjoys traveling more than anything and watching Silicon Valley series. Kostas’s Bio - Kostas is an iOS Engineer at Workable, the recruitment software company. He’s developed over a dozen iOS apps, from cooking and fashion, to retail, radio, food delivery and more. Having survived the years of Objective-C and manual memory management, he now basks in the comfort and (type) safety of Swift. He loves TDD, clean architecture and more recently getting to grips with functional programming and ReactiveX concepts. Abstract - UX doesn’t only come down to looks and speed. Error handling is quite as important, and in order to get it right it has to be easy and straightforward. However, for most, it is still a mundane task with painfully too many cases to consider. In this talk Helen and Kostas propose a recipe for reducing this friction and for adding complex error handling with just a few lines of code. You can follow up slides here ( https://github.com/tryswift/talks/blob/master/try!%20Swift%20NYC%202017/Error_handling_made_easy.pdf ), and Github repo here (https://github.com/Workable/swift-error-handler) try!

Topic - A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To This Array Speaker - Erica Sadun Twitter - https://twitter.com/ericasadun Bio - Erica Sadun writes lots of books. When not writing, she’s a full time parent of geeks who are brushing up on their world domination skills. According to her academic dosimeter, she’s acquired more education than any self-respecting person might consider wise. She enjoys deep diving into technology and has written, co-written, and contributed to dozens of books about computing and digital media. Sadun has blogged at TUAW, Ars Technica, O’Reilly, and Lifehacker and written for Make magazine. She has authored and co-authored more accepted proposals for Swift than anyone, including the Core Team. Abstract - Swift is flexible. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly flexible it is. I mean, you might think it takes just a wee bit of code to populate some array, but that’s just peanuts compared to how many amazing ways you can use everything from closures to protocols to functional programming to build small collections for testing, prototyping, etc. These kinds of tiny challenges open you to Swift’s enormous design space. Just as it’s a mistake to think you can solve any major problem with potatoes, Swift’s power features help you move past obvious code to the expert, the arcane, and the reusable. Swift’s simplicity is an illusion. Move past that illusion. try! Swift NYC Twitter - https://twitter.com/tryswiftnyc try! Swift NYC Twitter Hashtag - https://twitter.com/hashtag/tryswiftnyc try!

Topic - Machine Ethics and Emerging Technologies Speaker - Paul Fenwick Twitter - https://twitter.com/pjf Bio - Paul Fenwick is an internationally acclaimed public speaker, developer, and science educator. Paul is well known for presenting on a diverse range of topics including privacy, neuroscience and neuroethics, Klingon programming, open source, depression and mental health, advancements in science, diversity, autonomous agents, and minesweeper automation. His dynamic presentation style and quirky humor have delighted audiences worldwide. Paul was awarded the 2013 O’Reilly Open Source award, and the 2010 White Camel award, both for outstanding contributions to the open source community. Abstract - Technology is advancing at a faster rate than society’s expectations, and many technologies go from the being the stuff of science-fiction to being consumer-available, with very little in the way of discussion in between. But with the increasing rate of progress comes many questions that are uncomfortable to contemplate, and which may be dangerous to ignore. When should an autonomous vehicle sacrifice itself and its owner to protect others? What happens when medical expert systems work on behalf of insurance agencies rather than patients? What happens when the world’s weapon systems—including combat drones—are able to make lethal decisions without human involvement? try! Swift NYC Twitter - https://twitter.com/tryswiftnyc try!
