Samantha John - 200 Days of Swift

Hopscotch (http://www.gethopscotch.com) is a company that aims to rethink programming, making it easy and accessible to anyone, and not just the people who are doing it now.

Naturally, Hopscotch jumped at the chance to start using Swift when it was introduced last year. The cool new features of Swift, along with the opportunity to experience first-hand the development of a new language, made it an easy choice to start integrating it into their codebase.

Hopscotch started writing new code in Swift when iOS 8 came out in Sept 2014, and hasn’t looked back (but not without some regrets).

Samantha John (@SamJ0hn (https://twitter.com/SamJ0hn)), cofounder at Hopscotch, will share some of the things they’ve learned, mistakes they’ve made, and big wins that have come out of adopting Swift on a large codebase for the past several months.

We’re hosted this month at Viacom (http://www.viacom.com) (thanks Marc and Rob!)
