XCoders: Dynamic Type, Hyperscaling, and a Mystery

We're keeping up the momentum with our third meetup of the year – this time featuring talks by Steven Masuch, Parveen Kaler, and special guest Paul Goracke, who is joining us from Seattle Xcoders.

Doors are at 6:30pm, and talks will start at 7pm. Due to security requirements at VFS, we can't admit folks once the talks begin. Doors close promptly at 7pm.

1. Steven Masuch – Lightning Talk
2. Parveen Kaler, Smartful Studios and Earnin – Hyperscaling iOS Development
3. Paul Goracke (Seattle Xcoders) – Dynamic Type
4. Drinks afterwards at The Irish Heather

Steven Masuch – The Stuck Progress Bar Mystery, Or: Roadrunner’s Lament, Or: Well-Meaning Documentation May Be Leading You Down A Twisted Path

"Odd bugs need some odd debugging. Steven Masuch gives a lightning talk about one such bug."

Parveen Kaler – Hyperscaling iOS: Doubling Team Size. And Then Doubling Again

"Earnin has grown from a team of 4 mobile engineers to a team of 10. We are growing to a team of 20 engineers by the end of the quarter and 40 engineers at the end of the year. Parveen will describe the tools, techniques, and processes used to grow the company as fast as possible."

Paul Goracke – Code, Layout, and Design for Dynamic Type

"Apple has made great improvements to the ease of supporting Dynamic Type in our apps, but has remained fairly quiet on guidance around handling the flexible layouts and design issues that result. This talk will cover the implementation fundamentals, autolayout tips, and design considerations that will enable your apps to be enjoyed by users across a wider spectrum of visual acuity."

The event is at the VFS animation campus across from Woodward's, located at 151 West Cordova Street, in Theatre 105.
