Frank’s summary

We've all used GCD to schedule concurrent work. We create our own single-use dispatch queues, or we simply send stuff to the global queue. But how often do we consider what we're doing from the perspective of the system?

Concurrency is often counter-intuitive. In this talk, we're going to explore some scenarios where we assume we're doing the right thing, but in fact, we're only placing a bigger burden on the system. We'll answer questions like:
- How many dispatch queues should I create in my application?
- Is it alright to dispatch work to the global? Why or why not?
- How can we maximize the performance of our concurrent tasks? (Spoiler: it's probably not through parallelization)

Matt’s summary

Virtually all apps on iOS use a third-party crash reporting system. But, very few developers actually know how these systems work. Let's take a tour of crash reporting for Apple platforms. Along the way, we'll talk about the challenges and trade-offs that crash reporters have to make. And, I'll even include a surprise at the end!
