Speaking at AltConf 2017 in San Jose
This was my first time to attend WWDC and also give my talk at AltConf! It was super busy week, but I had amazing experience and so much great time!
AltConf — The alternative developer conference
AltConf is a free, community-driven and supported event, held in downtown San Jose alongside Apple’s WWDC.
It’s an annual iOS conference and there are awesome speakers every year! So I’m honored to be a speaker at such a great conference!
My talk
I talked about Type-safe Web APIs with Protocol Buffers in Swift. I was going to focus only on protobuf at first, but I decided to also mention Codable protocol a bit which was introduced during WWDC! Ideally, I wanted to talk about Codable more, because it’s so powerful and flexible.
Since, there wasn’t enough time to explain Codable during my talk, I’ll probably talk about it next time.
Here is quick recap of protobuf.
- Type-safe — you can define your own type for HTTP request/response
- Consistent in cross platform — you can have shared data modal by code gen
- Extensible — protobuf is a serialization format, you can use everywhere.
I believe that protobuf is going to be a best fit for Swift! It has many benefits like I mentioned above, so it’s definitely worth it!
If you are interested in more detail, you can find my slides and video(To be uploaded) here.
Wrap up
I learned so many things from AltConf!
I really appreciate to give me an opportunity to speak at AltConf and hope to see you again!
