According to the stats of my podcast hosting provider, this is my 200th episode. And what a ride I had between this episode and my previous one. My last episode was published two and a half weeks ago. And a lot of things happened since then.I was still preparing for Do iOS on November 3 and 4.Had a weekend I kept going over my notes for Do iOS.Then the Do iOS workshop started with Daniel Steinberg and I was collecting and bringing some of the material we needed for Do iOS to Amsterdam. For lunch, I stopped at the workshop to check in on things and talk to a few people to get the vibe of the crowd at the workshop. It was pretty good.Then it was November 8. Do iOS day. I was the stage host the entire day, but we started with onboarding everyone at the door. I spoke a few words with all attendees at registration. Then an entire day of talks, making sure catering was taken care of, taking care of little issues. And making sure we kept a good pace. At the end we had a nice social drink with all attendees and a typical small Dutch snack.Evening of the first conf day, we had a sort of casual diner, and it got a bit out of hand.

Send me a textCounting down to Do iOS. At the time of this recording, I have almost two weeks to go, but it sure feels like it is happening tomorrow. Sending out messages to all attendees and speakers, making sure roll-up banners are ordered, putting together staff briefings for the Do iOS team and for the catering team, and preparing "filler" slides for when speakers are switching. Hotel bookings for team members. It is just a lot of small bits that all need to happen. I must say I feel very well organized and prepared. I think in large part that's due to my note-taking in Obsidian. Recently I showed what I have for notes to a colleague of mine and he was quite taken aback by the amount of stuff I write down. And I feel like I only capture half of all I want to capture.In this episode, I’m going to talk about:Thoughts on SwiftUI vs UIKitThree Ways to Refactor Massive SwiftUI ViewsMastering NavigationSplitView in SwiftUIHow to create NSManagedObject subsclasses for Core Data entities in XcodeRefactoring Swift: Best Practices to succeedJoin me in Amsterdam for Do iOS 2025, tickets and details available now.
