Code Optional
Three engineering comrades – Andrew Sardone, Kevin Vitale, and Chris Dzombak – talk about development, design, and shipping apps. There's a heavy slant towards Apple tech, balanced with general inquiries around programming and the intricacies/inanities of software.
Episodes
Our first ever guest, designing remotely
While Kevin takes the afternoon off for some well-deserved family and petting zoo time, we're joined by our guest Karsten Rowe. Karsten is a UK-based designer, and together with Andrew and Chris he chats about remote work, jumping from graphic to product design, and how one grows and becomes inspired.
Unfulfilled Promises
Chris has an announcement, followed by a quick discussion about OS X Yosemite and iOS 8. From there, Andrew, Chris, and Kevin go back and forth on Promises and why they're an insufficient abstraction.
We recorded this episode but never got around to editing & releasing it.
We did talk about Core Data!
On this episode, Kevin throws in a big announcement, followed by a group discussion on Swift's nil coalescing operator and the common applications of Core Data.
So we didn't talk about Core Data
Andrew, Kevin, and Chris plan to talk about Core Data. Instead, they discuss navigation patterns for iOS apps.
Frameworks, you guys don't even know how many sunshine and rainbows
Andrew, Chris, and Kevin sit down for a chat on "Google becoming Apple" (or so Kevin says), and how dynamic frameworks for third party developers will replace CocoaPods (or so Kevin says).
We started this new project in Swift
Andrew, Chris, and Kevin sit down for their inaugural chat, scratching the surface of Swift.
