Ask HN: Great iOS / Swift Blogs?
I’m getting back into iOS development after a 3 year break, which means I’ve missed Swift 2 & 3. Can anyone recommend blogs that publish regularly on Swift and iOS development besides the official Apple Swift blog, Ray Wenderlich and NSHipster? Thanks.
- fakeElonMusk 8y agoI subscribe to https://talk.objc.io/ https://talk.objc.io/. Highly recommend it.
- chrishannah 8y agoHere are my favourites: https://www.natashatherobot.com https://www.natashatherobot.com https://www.swiftbysundell.com https://www.swiftbysundell.com http://whatsnewinswift.com http://whatsnewinswift.com https://rambo.codes https://rambo.codes And sporadically, I'll write a few myself: http://blog.chrishannah.me/category/swift-tips/ http://blog.chrishannah.me/category/swift-tips/
- josv 8y agoWe don’t lack for wonderful writers in the Apple ecosystem. Along with objc.io I’d heartily suggest: https://oleb.net https://oleb.net (Ole Begemann) https://www.mikeash.com/pyblog/ https://www.mikeash.com/pyblog/ (Mike Ash)
- wool_gather 8y agoCan't beat Mike Ash. His Friday Q&A series is just fantastic: plenty of people tell you about what to do, others will explain the why, but read those and you'll get the what behind the why, and why it is that way.
- wool_gather 8y agoNot mentioned yet: Souroush Khanlou http://khanlou.com http://khanlou.com is always at the top of my list. Thoughtful and very practical material. Also Dave DeLong: https://davedelong.com/blog/ https://davedelong.com/blog/ > I’ve missed Swift 2 & 3 In some ways this is an advantage to you. There was a fair bit of churn in that time period. Things have settled reasonably well now.
- rayascott 8y agoThanks for the recommendations and it’s encouraging to hear things have settled down in Swift 4.
- Gardinero 8y agoI love the weekly iOS newsletter https://ios-goodies.com/ https://ios-goodies.com/
- daveverwer 8y agoI maintain a directory of people writing about iOS development here: https://iosdevdirectory.com https://iosdevdirectory.com. Might be useful!
- rayascott 8y agoOhhhh the motherload :-) (bows with hands in a prayer position)
- daveverwer 8y agoYes, it may even be too overwhelming :) If so, those feeds are what I use as my main sources for writing iOS Dev Weekly, here: https://iosdevweekly.com/ https://iosdevweekly.com/ which will give you a slightly cut down list of the best of the week in iOS development.
- rayascott 8y agoOverwhelming is good. One or two points. I’ll DM you on Twitter with a list of RSS feeds that are no longer responsive (I think one has switched to feed burner). Also, for an improved experience when importing an OPML, please consider nesting all outline elements inside another outline element that is treated as a folder when importing. I imported an OPML to Feedly, and have to manually move them individually into a “iOS Developer Blogs” folder.
- rayascott 8y agoCoincidentally I do something similar for Rust, but in not nearly as grand a fashion... https://github.com/rayascott/fearless-rust-bloggers https://github.com/rayascott/fearless-rust-bloggers
- tialys 8y agoI write reference-style articles on confusing/underused areas of iOS development, and maintain links to hard to find documentation over at https://www.iosdev.recipes https://www.iosdev.recipes
