New language, new programming paradigms. Since the release of Swift the Cocoa developer community is increasingly experimenting with functional programming. How can we adopt FP principles in real world applications? This talk will discuss how apps can make use of immutable value types to avoid common code smells and bugs. I will also discuss other benefits of a functional approach, such as modularity through function composition. Throughout the talk I will illustrate the architecture of a non-trivial iOS app that relies strongly on immutable value types. The main goal of this talk is to show pragmatic approaches for applying functional programming principles to common problems in Cocoa development. Show less

This book will teach you how to build iPhone games using the Open Source Tools SpriteBuilder and Cocos2D, and Apple's new programming language Swift.

You will learn the essentials of 2D graphics programming and dive into best practices of game programming while building a full iPhone game that is available on the App Store.

Most iOS applications make heavy use of mutable state, which increases code complexity and results in software that is expensive to maintain. Functional Reactive Programming provides us with a toolset that reduces our dependency on mutable state.

This talk will discuss the philosophy of Functional Reactive Programming and show how ReactiveCocoa can be used to write maintainable and testable UI and Networking code. It will show that FRP offers some very pragmatic approaches to fix common… Show more
