Less than a week to go until WWDC 2024 kicks off, so as is tradition here is my list of things I’ve like to see this year. These are in no particular order. SwiftData Yes, I know it’s already here, but I don’t consider the SwiftData that was released to be anything close to what…

WWDC 2021 Wish List
WWDC 2021 kicks off next week and there are a few things I am hoping to hear about. Here’s my wish list for WWDC 2020 for comparison. SwiftData! The mythical beast of persistence, the talk of which persists. I am hoping for something that merges the functionality of the magnificent GRBD SQLite library with native…

WWDC 2020 Wish List
WWDC 2020 is now only a few hours away and here’s a list of things I’m hoping to see. This is the most excited I’ve been about a WWDC as I feel more a part of the community this year than ever before. I can’t wait to watch the keynote, watch the tech sessions, and…
