Swift on Server: Are We There Yet?

try! Swift NYC Conference 2018 - try! Swift is an immersive community gathering about Apple Technologies, Swift Language Best Practices, Application Development in Swift, Server-Side Swift, Open Source Swift, and the Swift Community in New York! Topic - Swift on Server: Are We There Yet? Speaker - Gopal Sharma Twitter - https://twitter.com/gopalkri Bio - Gopal is a Technical Architect at Surya, where he currently builds Timing. Previously, he was an Engineer on Apple’s iCloud team. Gopal is also a co-organizer of Swift India’s Bangalore chapter. He writes about Swift, Kotlin, Photography, and other random musings at bohr.in. He enjoys traveling with his camera in his free time. Abstract - Swift on the server has been talked about since Swift was open sourced. There have been a lot of efforts to make Swift on the server viable. However, when building a product, you should be focused on your product, not on the tools and frameworks backing it. This talk evaluates the holistic experience of building a small (but real) backend in Swift, versus a few well known frameworks in other languages, and tries to answer the age old question: Are we there yet?

Getting Started with Apple ML

try! Swift NYC Conference 2018 - try! Swift is an immersive community gathering about Apple Technologies, Swift Language Best Practices, Application Development in Swift, Server-Side Swift, Open Source Swift, and the Swift Community in New York! Topic - Getting Started with Apple ML Speaker - Audrey Tam Twitter - https://twitter.com/mataharimau Bio - Audrey Tam retired at the end of 2012 from a 25-year career as a computer science academic. Before moving to Australia, she worked on simulation software at IBM's development lab in Silicon Valley. Audrey now teaches short courses in iOS app development to non-programmers and writes/records content for raywenderlich.com. Abstract - You want to add ML to your apps but you think you need to study a lot of math and write Python and you can’t find the time? Think again: Apple’s Create ML gets you started in the comfort of Xcode and Swift! No math needed :]. Create ML is brilliant for getting you started with ML. It makes it easy to try different datasets — getting your data right is actually the hardest and most time consuming part of ML. Once you get started with ML, you won’t want to wait / hope for Apple to add more models to Create ML. To help you explore the ML universe that’s written in Python, I’ll reduce the fright factor by comparing Create ML Swift with Turi Create Python, and showing you how to quick-start your exploration of Turi Create. And I’ll point you to Keras and scikit-learn, in case you want to roll your own models. Presentation Link - https://github.com/tryswift/talks/blob/master/Audrey_AppleML_trySwiftNYC2018.pdf try!

Let Them Say What They Want: Adding Siri Shortcuts

try! Swift NYC Conference 2018 - try! Swift is an immersive community gathering about Apple Technologies, Swift Language Best Practices, Application Development in Swift, Server-Side Swift, Open Source Swift, and the Swift Community in New York! Topic - Let Them Say What They Want: Adding Siri Shortcuts Speaker - Christina Moulton Twitter - https://twitter.com/ChristinaMltn Bio - Christina has been building iOS apps for 8 years, mostly as a freelancer. She blogs at GrokSwift.com and wrote an ebook on creating iOS apps with REST APIs. She tried living and travelling on a sailboat for a few years but the internet connection just wasn't good enough. Abstract - Siri Shortcuts help to improve your user experience by making actions available with Siri in iOS, watchOS, CarPlay and HomePod. We can set up our apps to give easy access to frequent actions without needing to open the app. Even better, iOS can suggest frequently used actions pro-actively using notifications or the lock screen. We’ll see how to add custom Siri Shortcuts to our apps, how to expose them so that Siri can recommend them, and how to let users set up their own voice commands to access their favourite Shortcuts.

Compassionate—Yet Candid—Code Reviews

try! Swift NYC Conference 2018 - try! Swift is an immersive community gathering about Apple Technologies, Swift Language Best Practices, Application Development in Swift, Server-Side Swift, Open Source Swift, and the Swift Community in New York! Topic - Compassionate—Yet Candid—Code Reviews Speaker - April Wensel Twitter - https://twitter.com/aprilwensel Bio - April Wensel is an international speaker and the founder of Compassionate Coding, a conscious business that helps technical teams cultivate sustainable, human-­centered software development practices built on a foundation of emotional intelligence. She has spent the past decade as a software engineer and technical leader at various startups in Silicon Valley, building products in such fields as healthcare, education, gaming, and user research. As an advocate for a more socially responsible tech industry, she also mentors technologists around the world and volunteers with organizations to teach coding to people from underrepresented groups. When not coding or speaking, she enjoys writing, running ultramarathons, and experimenting with vegan recipes. Abstract - Code reviews are essential for maintaining code quality and helping developers sharpen their coding skills. However, code reviews are also difficult to get right. Many code review comments end up being unclear, trivial, or condescending. With compassion as a guideline, though, we can work to establish code review practices that minimize suffering for everyone involved—the code authors, the code reviewers, the code maintainers, and even the end users. In this talk, you’ll learn that Compassionate Code Reviews are not about “sugarcoating” feedback and actually demand a considerable degree of candor. Equipped with a set of guidelines for executing Compassionate Code Reviews, you’ll leave inspired to apply them on your team to create better code and happier coders.
