Protocol Oriented Programming in Swift

Hi all,

in our last meetup, which was about best practices in Swift, people were really curious about 'protocol oriented programming' in Swift.

Back in June, one of the main Swift Developers gave a really interesting introductory talk to this new and upcoming programming style at WWDC ( https://developer.apple.com/videos/wwdc/2015/?id=408 ).

Thilo, a developer colleague at ThoughtWorks, played around with this new paradigm and wants to give us an introduction. Following a general overview, he will give some live examples in XCode and then open up to a Q&A and broader discussion.

If anyone else is interested in giving a lightening style talk about a related topic in that field, just reach out to us. The whole evening will also be recorded and the video posted in the group after the meetup.

We also decided at our last meetup to create a Slack Channel for the meetup, so people might use it to ask questions in the community whenever you are stuck. You can get an invite by visiting https://swiftified.herokuapp.com/. Thanks Mo, for creating the channel!

For all other topics people were interested in, we created a poll. Please take some time to vote on what you think should be covered at one of our next meetups: https://www.meetup.com/Swift-Meetup-Hamburg/polls/1207473/

Last but not least, we are also hosting a Swift Hacknight bi-weekly in our Hamburg office. Please feel free to drop by and join a great open source project. The next Hacknight will take place next week and can be found in the meetup group schedule as well.

Best and hope to see many of you!

Lukas, Jan & Hermann

P.S.> Here are some more links regarding the topic of protocol oriented programming in Swift. Also feel free to share some more resources in the comments so people who are interested might have the chance to prepare a little before the meetup.
