Where I’ll be at WWDC 2018

June 2, 2018

I’ll be doing a few things next week at WWDC and wanted to pass along my schedule. Hope to see you at one or more of these happenings!

Tuesday: Speaking at the NextDoor Conference

Tuesday morning, I’m speaking at the Next Door conference, located, remarkably enough, next door to WWDC.

I’ll be talking about two of the more glamorous aspects of app development: build settings and xcconfig files. In the session, we’ll cover the why and how of giving your build settings an out-of-project file experience to make build settings easier to manage.

Registration is open until Monday and a there’s a great lineup of speakers. I encourage you to check the conference out.

NextDoor Conference, June 4th – June 7th
My session about xcconfig files: Tuesday, June 5th, 10:00 AM

Wednesday: LIVE near WWDC 2018

Wednesday night, my band, James Dempsey and the Breakpoints, performs our 7th annual LIVE near WWDC show. The party starts at 7 pm—tickets include an open bar. The band goes on at about 8:30 pm, playing a full concert of original, humorous, programming-oriented, and yes, even chart-topping music.

But the night is more than just music and fun—it’s a benefit concert for App Camp For Girls, with ticket proceeds going to support their programs. Come on out on Wednesday night to a great event for a great cause!

Tickets are still available but going fast. Click through to get all the details and buy tickets.

I’ll be closing out the week at AltConf with my fifth annual WWDC Week In Review, a lighthearted look back at the announcements and events of the week.

After a week front-loaded with announcements and technical talks—this easy-going closing session of AltConf combines humor, music, and a bit of perspective. I hope you join me to be entertained and maybe occasionally enlightened.

And, as usual, there will be a bit involving a ukulele.

A Busy WWDC 2018 Week

As usual, it will be a busy WWDC week with plenty of new announcements and technology to wrap our heads around. If you see me out and about during the week, please say hello!

I hope you can make it out to one or more of these events—see you at WWDC! •
