A C# developer learns Swift Part 3: API Callbacks

Part 1, Part 2 Previously, I mentioned that a major hurdle to learning Swift was the state of the API. Primarily that it is still Objective C based.  Often your code will need to respond to external events generated by these libraries.  Unlike C#, neither Objective C or Swift have the equivalent to the “event” construct.  The […]

A C# developer learns Swift Part 2: Optionals

This is going to be a quick post on one of the things that Swift does a little differently from other modern languages you may be familiar with. In C# land, we are used to two distinct classes of variables.  The first class are value types like int and double that have a default value […]

A C# developer learns Swift Part 1: Core Data

Series Intro I’ve always been a PC guy until a few years ago when I bought an IPad 2 for my wife.  Since then, most of my personal electronic devices have been converted to Apple.  As a user, they’re really great.  So naturally, I though I’d give Apple development a shot as well.  I got […]

An Introduction to Swift Programming

Very few people who have delved into Apple’s programming domain develop an opinion that one could describe as neutral on the topic of Objective-C.

Better Testing in Go With Gocheck

As a quick reminder, golang is a really fun programming language to use. It even includes testing out of the box! Unfortunately, this out-of-the-box testing framework isn’t all that great. It lacks the syntactic sugar of mature frameworks like rspec or gtest. Of course, there are alternatives. I found an open-source library (licensed with Simplified […]

Changing the Game with Xamarin

Businesses use several factors to assess the success of a project life cycle – cost, time to market, adoption rates, and more. But when a technology reduces development time from 2 to 3 man-years to just 3 months, it’s difficult not to take notice. SEP needed to adapt a $3.5 million dollar Windows desktop application […]

Lambda Calculus

So I wrote a lengthy blog post about functional programming [1] and in it I have a segment where I praise lambda calculus as the best thing ever [2], link a couple of books, and leave you to your own devices.  One of the nice things about lambda calculus (elaborated upon below) is that it […]
