DON'T BE "AN OBJECTIVE-C" or "A SWIFT DEVELOPER" BRYAN IRACE
AUGUST 29, 2014
BE A SOFTWARE DEVELOPER
BEING A GREAT DEVELOPER MEANS BEING A GREAT PROBLEM SOLVER
BEING A GREAT PROBLEM SOLVER MEANS DRAWING FROM VARIED EXPERIENCE
"We need to reach that happy stage of our development
when differences and diversity are not seen as sources of division and distrust, but of strength and inspiration." ▸ Josefa Iloilo
var stooges = [{ name: 'curly', age: 25 }, {
name: 'moe', age: 21 }, { name: 'larry', age: 23 }]; var youngest = _.chain(stooges) .sortBy(function (stooge) { return stooge.age; }) .map(function (stooge) { return stooge.name + ' is ' + stooge.age; }) .first() .value();
[[[stooges sortedArrayUsingDescriptors: @[[NSSortDescriptor sortDescriptorWithKey:@"age" ascending:YES]]] transformedArrayUsingBlock:^NSString *(NSDictionary *stooge) { return
[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ is %@", stooge[@"name"], stooge[@"age"]]; }] firstObject];
YES, IT'S UGLY BUT THE BENEFITS ARE ALL STILL THERE
"Header files are the only good way to manage code
visibility"
"Of course you should always use methods instead of functions"
"Generics? Don't need 'em"
YOUR FAVORITE PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE IS AN IMPLEMENTATION DETAIL
None
WHAT I'M NOT SAYING: YOU'RE SCREWED IF YOU ONLY KNOW
OBJECTIVE-C
STRONG OPINIONS WEAKLY HELD
"What would you change about Objective-C?"
"One of the biggest constants in software development: the unerring
sense among developers that the level of abstraction they're currently working at is exactly the right one for the task at hand." ▸ John Siracusa, Copland 2010 revisited
None
"If I start using it now, I can provide feedback,
and that feedback will help shape the programming language that I’m likely to use for the rest of my career. ▸ Brent Simmons
"Maybe I’ll have a ton of feedback, and maybe I’ll
have none — but I’d sure hate to have missed my chance to help."
YOU CAN'T ASK FOR WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW THAT YOU'RE
MISSING
THANK YOU @IRACE
