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!
