Colors flying. Anti-racist. Anti-fascist. Always Seattle. #EBFG #SoundersFC

Four flags flying at the top of the visitor’s supporters section. Cascadia flag in LGBTQ+ colors. Iron Front. Emerald City Supporters. Cascadia flag with a slice of pizza.

I’m thrilled to get ready to share another great WWDC!

I know not everyone can make it to Cupertino. If you’re hosting a watch party, I’d love to hear about it!

I was impressed with Rep. Liccardo’s performance at the town hall. Lots of pointed questions, entirely from the left, which he listened to and answered thoughtfully. There was seating for 700, and dozens of people were standing or sitting on the gym floor.

A few hundred people in line for Rep. Liccardo’s town hall. I’m probably in the front quarter of the line.

Morning at Apple Park

Looking between rows of dormant apple trees, daffodils blooming between them, sweet peas underneath. The inside of the ring building in the background.

Waiting to depart Denver in a snowstorm. They’re de-icing the plane for the second time. Pilot says they’ll also need to do a manual inspection of the wings immediately before our take-off run. Exciting?

Travel can be exhausting

Starting the day right at Caffe Macs with a cappuccino, notebooks, colored pencils, and fountain pens.

Cappuccino with bear-themed foam art. MacBook Pro, Sidekick notepad, planner, and stationery in the background. All on a very Apple maple table.

It’s event day! We have developers from 98 countries joining us online and at Apple Developer Center Cupertino today and tomorrow for “Bring SwiftUI to your app.” I’m beyond excited! I love spending time with the developer community.

Today was my seven year anniversary at Apple. It’s a privilege to play a small positive role in the lives of our developers!

Coming Feb. 5–6 to Apple Developer Center Cupertino and on livestream, Bring SwiftUI to your app!

We’ll focus on how your expertise in imperative user interface frameworks like UIKit and AppKit can help you get comfortable with SwiftUI’s declarative approach.

Bring SwiftUI to your app

Coming on Feb. 5–6, at Apple Developer Center Cupertino and on-line, Bring SwiftUI to your app! Join me and my colleagues as we share details of SwiftUI specifically targeted for experienced UIKit and AppKit developers.

On Day 1, you’ll find out how expertise in imperative user interface frameworks like UIKit and AppKit can help you get comfortable with SwiftUI’s declarative approach. Learn best practices for layout, animations, and data flow. And discover how SwiftUI can power up your prototyping work and help you deploy to all of Apple’s platforms.

On Day 2, you’ll have a chance to take part in group Q&A sessions. Those attending in person will also have the opportunity to connect one-on-one with Apple engineers for technical consultations, and take advantage of collaborative work areas to meet fellow developers, tackle challenges, and share results.

Happy to be healthy enough to decorate our tree tonight!

Vitals makes my battle with sepsis clear. I’m grateful for modern medicine and to be on the mend.

It smells so good. Is dinner ready yet? #dogsofmastodon
