In this talk I will cover the basics of ReactiveCocoa and the principles of Functional Reactive Programming. Through simple practical examples I will show how ReactiveCocoa and Swift form a beautiful partnership.
ReactiveCocoa is an elegant framework that radically changes the way we structure our applications and handle flows of data. However, it’s beauty is somewhat marred by Objective-C! In this talk I will cover the basics of ReactiveCocoa and the principles of Functional Reactive Programming. Through simple practical examples I will show how ReactiveCocoa and Swift form a beautiful partnership.
In this talk, Ash Furrow, author and iOS engineer at Artsy, presents the current state of Apple’s new programming language: Swift. He’ll begin with a description of why Swift was needed – what problems existed with Objective-C and how does Swift address them? Speaking from experience of developing a production application using Swift, Ash will discuss Swift’s readiness from both technical and business standpoints.
This talk will explain the rationale behind CQRS/ES, how it fits the Reactive paradigm and the advantages regarding both the technology and business level. We will also discuss the implications of consistency models and how this approach affects Domain Driven Design.

The Developer News this week focuses on several newer languages – Javascript’s ki LISP DSL (literally running LISP as a domain-specific language inside of JavaScript directly just by booting a library) and of course, Apple’s Swift, are our tidbits from the programming zone. We see how mathletes may have been hit by a virus on Euler.com, and two bigwigs team up to take on Oracle in the Big Data department. That and more, on the DevNews this week.
