#2: Exploring the Performance, and Limits, of Swift’s Constructs

Speaker: Mayur

Abstract: Ever wondered if a function is more performant than a closure? Or if an object of a struct takes lesser memory than one of a class? Does an enum with a raw value need more RAM, than an enum without one?
In this talk, we’ll explore such questions—seeing what performance, and memory costs you pay, when using language features Swift offers. More importantly, we’ll discuss the tools used to find these answers, so you can take them for a spin too.

Bio: Mayur works as a Technical Lead at Surya Software. He routinely enjoys adventures in multiple programming environments. Swift, Rust, Go, and Haskell are some of the programming languages he likes to learn about. In his spare time, Mayur tries to understand everything between how large systems and teams are architected, down to how code can be made faster and have its correctness verified.

#3: Universal principles of “Design” for non-designers

Speaker: Tanveer Chandok

Abstract: Discussion style forum where we will discuss aspects of design: what “design” is and is not, design systems, why design is now more important than ever, why you should care and how it can take your development work to the next level. Come prepared with questions!
