Swift is a complete fail unless you think Apple can get the coldplay guys to write code. Which they can and it will be GREAT code.

Shoot me an e-mail about having one of our instructors speak if you'd like, we launched the first in person Swift class ever in early July! zach (at) nycda (dot) com

For a formative language, it would be wise for Apple to send a representative and for dotSwift to get Apple officially represented. I am sure the organizers understand this, but this would also mean a cultural departure for Apple.

  Couldn't agree more! We really hope to be able to get them involved in the conference. FYI, Chris Lattner does speak at LLVM community events so it's not unheard of.

  'Wise' seems a bit over the top. Generous and positive spirited might be a better way to characterize it. I am curious what such a representative could offer that would not be better in a produced video distributed by Apple?

    They could have two-way conversations with developers who are using and learning Swift.

      They are active, communicative and responsive on the dev forums.
    - gress 12y ago
      They do, every day.

    I think it has to do mostly with the image they want to have in the developer community. Plus, watching a HD video shot in a Theater like ours is arguably more enjoyable and impactful than something shot in a studio.

This looks interesting. How long are the super early-bird tickets open for?
- sylvinus 12y ago
  Until they sell out, we have a fixed number of tickets in each price category

    Darn. I'll keep my fingers crossed they don't sell out until I get a little more cash on hand and can buy one then! :)

I can do a talk about OpenStack Swift if they need speakers ;)
