SPEAKERS:
Gemma Barlow, Lead iOS Engineer at Harry's
iMessage Apps for Fun and Profit
iMessage Apps are such a departure from the apps that Gemma has been building the last few years, they have her fascinated.
This talk will work through several technical examples, illustrating: what iMessage apps can do, the challenges involved, and ideas for convincing someone to pay you to build one (all in Swift).
Gemma (http://twitter.com/gemmakbarlow) has been an iOS Developer since 2009 and loves travel, coffee, wine and code, not necessarily in that order. Originally from Melbourne, Australia, she currently calls New York home and spends her professional days writing Swift for Harry’s (https://www.harrys.com/app).

Natalie Podrazik, "Body Talk", or watchOS 3
Apple WatchOS and their Apps: What do they do? How do they do things? Let's Find Out! I dove into watchOS 3 and made an app called "Body Talk" to track and export health symptoms and I have lots to say about it.
Natalie (https://www.linkedin.com/in/natalie-podrazik-3936aa15) is an iOS Developer who most recently worked at Byte on the Peach and Byte apps. She also runs CocoaHeads NYC (http://www.cocoaheadsnyc.org/) and is totally pumped that this Women in iOS group exists.
