Matt’s summary

Language Server Protocol (LSP) is a system that allows editors to have access to rich language features without needing to build custom support. The protocol was originally developed for Microsoft's VS Code project, but has quickly gained in popularity. Even Apple has started adopting it for Swift, and has publicly stated they will begin using LSP in Xcode. We'll take a look at the protocol, see some of its pros and cons, and then check out an open-source Swift library for interacting wth LSP
servers.

Frank’s summary

Many projects carry their old network layers for way too long. In this talk, Frank will explore the dos and don'ts of iOS networking in 2019. In this talk, you'll learn how to build a network layer that won't work against you, as well as some interesting networking features you can implement in your own apps!
