Fission
December 22, 2015
I opened source a framework called Fission the other day. The best way for me to describe it, and the reasons for it are on the Github page, so I will simply quote it here:

My case for garbage collection in Swift
December 4, 2015
Now that Swift thas been open sourced - the ability to make a backend in Swift is much most accessible (since you can now run it on Linux). Something I think Apple should do, is implement garbage collection for Swift. Even though the recent history of Apple with regards to garbage collection, didn't end well for Objective-C.

Common Model Antipattern
November 19, 2015
In the vast majority of native client side software, it is common to create client-side model objects from a server representation (most commonly JSON).This is the flow that see the most:

Dictionary - Initialize/update a model directly with the dictionary itself

December 7, 2014
I went to the Functional Swift Conference yesterday; (12/7/14). For those of you who did not attend, videos will be posted soon and I would highly recommend you to check them out when they are posted. Big thanks to the organizers for putting this all together and Kickstarter for hosting the event!It was quite good. The conference was free of charge, but they surely could have charged a decent amount of money for attendance.
The quality of the speakers was top notch, and each provided great, and unique contributions to a solid central message further convincing me of the fact that functional...

7 Minute Workouts
November 8, 2014
I just released a new app 7 Minute Workouts. The reasons for creating this are similiar to my reasons for Steps+.In addition to these things I was tired of being asked to upgrade and nickeled and dimed for seperate workouts and buying 'everything' but that doesn't include all workouts. Not chill. And you can't *really* customize in most of these apps.
Mine is 100% free and fully customizable. Download it and let me know what you think!!!
