Technologies are evolving and growing every day, and with Apple’s recent advances in Swift and Swift playgrounds, Apple development has never been easier to try. However in the tech industry, there still exists a large gap between individuals trying to enter the industry as a Software Engineer, and the hiring demands of tech companies trying to fill their engineering roles. This talk will focus on this gap - the leaky bucket we see in the demographics of Software Engineers. We’ll talk about how we as Software Engineers can strengthen the existing Apple developer community by discussing how we can extend a hand to those trying to enter. This will involve topics such as sharing perpsectives from non-Software Engineers about the difficulties of breaking the barrier, as well as the unique opportunity that Swift and this Apple developer community can provide. try!
