Future of Combine, Async/Await, Is SwiftUI Ready, iOS Dev Career Arc

In this episode of Swift News, I discuss the future of Combine now that Async/Await has been unveiled as well as some of my other favorite topics from WWDC 2021 such as the new UIButton system and SFSymbols 3. We dive into the classic question "Is SwiftUI Ready?", dependencies, becoming a well-rounded developer and a typical iOS developer career arc when it comes to the kind of code they write.

If you like my teaching style, I've started releasing my own courses:

If you enjoy my presentation style, I started creating my own iOS dev courses at seanallen.teachable.com. You can watch the first ~10% of each course for free to get a feel for them.

Welcome back! Monthly works! This has always been such a valuable nugget of information that served as a springboard into more detail or related ideas/projects.

UIKit buttons!! Exactly what I needed!! I always get something useful out of this channel, thanks Sean 🙏🏻🌹

[GuillemBruix]

Looking forward for September's one already! :)

I think Combine and Async/Await perfectly complement each other. An example which illustrates the different use cases would be firing an async networking call and once you await the value you update your CoreData. In turn this would trigger a combine publisher which is observed by your UI. Or in other terms - combine is about a continuous stream of values, async/await is about single fire asynchronous events.
Glad to see Swift News back btw!

[jaymartinez]

Happy you cameback. Solid content as always. I started learning swift with you a couple years ago. When you were telling your story. Happy your here again with swift news! Plus your the only guy who does it 😉 So this is your own market 💪🏾

[KevinMacTechGeek]

Man!! This video notification made me smile! Waiting for it since long time 😁

[JasonMitchellAZ]

Thanks for the weekly — err, monthly — news!

[ingongoyama]

Great idea once a month! Love these insites. It’s like having a senior Dev when your still freelancing

[vladimirmoor]

So much pleasure to see Sean fresh episode again! Good and actual stuff as always! Big thanks, welcome back!

[SBSanook]

Nice! As much as I liked weekly, this seems better. Always good to see your take on these topics, helps me a lot.

[気にしない-oq]

Monthly works great! you rock!! (as always!)

[christiansimbarashe]

Thank you for explaining about Combine. I'm still relatively new and I've been thinking about learning it. Thanks for making things clearer

[xjorgev]

Great content as usual Sean, I think is a great move to have this on monthly basis so that way you'll have more time to create this great content and keep working on your current projects! keep up the good work!

I am so excited about Actor Model in Swift 5.5. I used to try out server side swift but abandoned it because concurrency in Swift isn’t great imo, and I decided to go with Scala/Akka. Would love to try out Swift again now with a much more intuitive and powerful concurrency system.

[Martin-sdxu]

very cool sharing Sean, waiting for your combine course 😎

[antonsobolev]

Hi Sean! Thanks for all your videos! It's amazing!
Do you have a video, on youtube or on your courses, about callbacks inside callbacks? About callbacks hell or pyramid of doom?:D

[gtur]

Woo my first Swift news as a professional iOS engineer!

[jhoughjr]

I use combine for pub sub I dont see that clashing with async await

[cesmorf]

I'm planning to buy a book by Mark Moeyken, do you have any suggestions?
