Crashes are "Optional"! & Write Less Do More - Leveraging Generics

Abstract:

Tony Hoare, inventor of ALGOL said that his invention of NULL reference was a billion dollar mistake. Let’s explore how Swift’s Optionals help in mitigating this mistake, making (most of) your crashes optional.Swift’s generics allows you to write code that is almost as succinct as dynamically typed languages like Python while being type safe. We will see a real world example of a generic view controller which could abstract many views with similar functionality but differences in data and user interface.

Make life easier by using UIStackView

Abstract:

What approach do you take? Do you add outlets to constraints in your storyboard so that you can activate or deactivate certain ones? Or do you use a third party library? Or depending on the complexity maybe you do everything in code.
Did you ever end up just clearing all constraints and re-adding them from scratch because it was easier than performing painstaking constraints-surgery?
With the introduction of UIStackView, the above tasks become trivial. Stack views provide a way to lay out a series of views horizontally or vertically. By configuring a few simple properties such as alignment, distribution, and spacing, you can define how the contained views adjust themselves to the available space.
