We're back! (again)

What is the CocoaHeads Bucharest meetup group?

Can you define it? Is it palpable? Is it an object? Is it a place?
Most likely you cannot. CocoaHeads Bucharest is you: each and every passionate person. By signing up for being a member you have done the first, sometimes most important, step in building CocoaHeads Bucharest and we are grateful for being part of this amazing community.

In this spirit, we want to ensure to provide a more consistent platform, a microphone for people to speak up, share their battle stories, even the smallest little discoveries or a shoulder to cry on about Xcode. So, to kickstart things, in our attempt to be more present, we are excited to announce our next event:

The format will be slightly different than what you're used and we want to experiment a bit; we are delighted to dust off the stage and welcome some new faces! People rarely encounter the same problems as you do regardless of their triviality to you, so don't be shy in sharing your side of the story.

Our inbox, as always, is open for (lightning) talk submissions on your favourite Apple related topic.

P.S. Our friends from Shortcut have offered to host this event 👀 in their cozy 🛋️, green🌴, soda 🥤 and pizza 🍕 packed office at Opera Center 1, Eroilor.

Stay tuned, more details about the agenda to come!

Updates. We're excited to announce the line-up and schedule for our upcoming event:

• 19:30 - welcoming and sharing some pizza;
• 19:45 - 20:30 - UIKit vs SwiftUI Architecture Patterns by Sturzu Roxana;

Architecture Patterns are a powerful tool that should exist in every programmer's life. Most of us heard about MVVM , MVC or VIPER in the UIKit development context, but what are those? When do they best apply? How do they fit with the new and shiny Swift UI framework? This is what we're going to find out and more, along with some rule of thumbs we can apply to make our development process easier.

• 20:30 -> 20:45 - beer/ pizza/ socialising break;
• 20:45 -> 21:15 - Native, native, native! by Corut Fabrizio;
The industry usually turns a blind eye to making an app feel native, familiar and consistent with the platform which we target.
Together we'll explore some native, out of the box Apple UI components and behaviours, how our duty as developers is to push for their extended usage and some limitations around building custom components in SwiftUI.

• 21:15 -> + - mingle around for a beer and chats;
