Swift on the Server: Because Type Safety Actually Matters (Sorry, JavaScript)
Details
Please join us Wednesday March 4 as Sam Corder presents Vapor!
Tired of wondering whether that JavaScript variable is a string, a number, or an existential crisis? What if your backend spoke the same language as your app — and actually caught bugs before your users did?
In this session, we'll explore Vapor, the server-side Swift framework that lets you build production-ready APIs without a single `node_modules` folder weighing more than your MacBook. We'll cover routing, Fluent ORM, authentication, and then level up with GraphQL for flexible mobile queries and OpenAPI for auto-generated docs your team might actually read.
Includes a live demo where we build a working API — with compile-time errors we can fix before they page us at 2 AM. No `undefined is not a function` in sight.
Whether you're a solo dev wanting full-stack Swift or a team looking to own your backend without learning Yet Another Language, this talk will give you everything you need to get started. Semicolons not required.
We look forward to learning from each other and of course we will have pizza!
