Expert guidance, battle-tested open source tools, advanced AI skills, exclusive videos, and a community of likeminded engineers.
Expert-crafted AI skill documents for building long-lasting Swift applications.
Design, test, and evolve applications using the same principles, libraries, and techniques we use every day at Point‑Free.
We show off some superpowers unlocked by embracing isolation, noncopyable, and nonescapable types by showing how they can be used to add incredible safety and performance to a legacy C API, and we will bring everything together to see how these tools make testing an app that uses Composable Architecture 2.0 and SQLiteData like magic.
It’s time to go beyond the basics with a deep exploration of isolation, noncopyable, and nonescapable types. But before we get into all the nitty gritty details we will demonstrate why understanding these topics matters, starting with a preview of isolation in Composable Architecture 2.0.
We celebrate 8 years of Point-Free with a live stream! We take our brand new “Point-Free Way” skill documents for a spin by building a Flashcards app powered by SQLiteData, and we give a sneak peek at “Composable Architecture 2.0,” a reimagining of our popular library.
We dissect some of the most important and interesting topics in Swift programming frequently, and deliver them straight to your inbox.
We cover both abstract ideas and practical concepts you can start using in your code base immediately.
Download a fully-functioning Swift playground from the video so you can experiment with the concepts discussed.
We transcribe each video by hand so you can search and reference easily. Click on a timestamp to jump directly to that point in the video.
Architecture is a tough problem and there’s no shortage of articles, videos and open source projects attempting to solve the problem once and for all. In this collection we systematically develop an architecture from first principles, with an eye on building something that is composable, modular, testable, and more.
The Swift language has grown over the years and become more and more powerful. It now boosts a comprehensive static type system (generics, existentials…), a suite of concurrency tools (actors, dynamic isolation…), and most recently even ownership capabilities (consuming, borrowing, non-copyable types…). In “Back to basics” we will focus on just one part of the language in order to uncover the deep theory behind that feature as well as provide concrete advice for writing real-world code.
SwiftUI is Apple’s declarative successor to UIKit and AppKit, and provides a wonderful set of tools for building applications quickly and effectively. It also provides a wonderful opportunity to explore problems around architecture and composition.
If you have ever created a binding using the get:set: initializer, you may want to reconsider. Doing so can hurt SwiftUI’s ability to animate your view. Luckily there is a better way. You can leverage @dynamicMemberLookup and subscripts to derive new bindings in a way that allows SwiftUI to propertly track where the binding came from.
SwiftData is not capable of filtering and sorting by raw representable enum properties in models. Predicates and sort descriptors will compile just fine when referencing enum properties, but it will crash at runtime.
SwiftData is not capable of sorting by boolean properties in models. And if you try to trick SwiftData to allow it, you will encounter runtime crashes.
I really love the dynamics of @pointfreeco. The dance of “this is super nice because…” “yes, BUT….”. they clearly show what’s good, what’s not so good and keep continuously improving.
Their content pushes the boundary of my knowledge, and it's fun to watch!
tfw you are excited for a 4 hour train ride because you'll have time to watch the new @pointfreeco episode 🤓🏔🚂 #MathInTheAlps #typehype
I listened to the first two episodes of @pointfreeco this weekend and it was the best presentation of FP fundamentals I've seen. Very thoughtful layout and progression of the material and motivations behind each introduced concept. Looking forward to watching the rest!
After diving into @pointfreeco series reading Real World Haskell doesn’t seem all that intimidating after all. Major takeaway: the lesser is word “monad” is mentioned the better 😅
The best thing, that happened to me for a while. @mbrandonw and @stephencelis really provide a lot of new information according to #ios development and #functionalprogramming. All info could be used in real production without boring academics.
We have this thing called WWTV at #PlanGrid where we mostly just listen to @mbrandonw and @stephencelis talk about functions.
Every episode has been amazing on Pointfree, yet somehow, you've managed to make these Parser combinator episodes even better!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks @mbrandonw @stephencelis for the very pedagogical series with @pointfreeco Excited and looking forward to learn from the series
