SwiftGen 3
This is a quick announce about the new release of my OpenSource code generation tool SwiftGen 3.0.0.
Closures Capture Semantics: Catch them all!
Even with ARC nowadays, it’s still important to understand memory management and objects life-cycles. A special case is when using closures, which are more and more present in Swift and have different capture semantics than ObjC’s block capture rules. Let’s see how they work.
A quick list of overlooked announcements at WWDC'16
Ok, so sadly I wasn’t at WWDC this year 😢 and followed it only on video 🎥 and Twitter. I bet you all saw the big announcements made during the keynote and the Platform State of the Union talks 🎉. But did you know about all those other new APIs that were added more silently? 🕵

Pattern Matching, Part 4: if case, guard case, for case
Now that we’ve revisited the various syntaxes for pattern matching in part 1, part 2 and part 3, let’s finish this blog post series with some advanced syntax using if case let, for case where and all!
Pattern Matching, Part 3: Custom pattern matching & syntactic sugar
In parts 1 and 2 of this article series, we saw some usages of switch on a lot of things, including tuples, Range, String, Character and even type. But what if we can use pattern matching even with our own custom types?
Pattern Matching, Part 2: tuples, ranges & types
In the previous article, we saw the basics of pattern matching using switch on enums. But what about using switch with anything other than enum types?
Pattern Matching, Part 1: switch, enums & where clauses
From a simple switch to complex expressions, pattern matching in Swift can be quite powerful. Today we’re going to start exploring it by seeing some cool usages of switch, before going further in later articles with even more advanced pattern matching techniques.
Being Lazy
Today we’ll see how we can be more efficient ⚡️ by… being la💤y 😴.
In particular, we’ll talk about lazy var and LazySequence. And cats 😸.

Asynchronous error handling
In a previous article, I talked about error handling in Swift using throw. But what happens when you deal with asynchronous workflows, where throw can’t really fit?
Using Generics to improve TableView cells
Happy New Year everybody 🎇🎉🎊🎆! My first post of 2016 will be a useful trick I want to share, which will demonstrate the power of Swift’s generics and how they can be really handy when dealing with UITableViewCells and UICollectionViewCells.
