Sick of giant view controllers? Not sure where to put your app’s business logic? Wanting to write tests but can’t for the life of you get started? Lucky for you, the Model-View-ViewModel pattern is the answer you’ve been looking for! In this session you’ll get hands on experience organizing your code into easy-to-understand testable components using MVVM --- About www.raywenderlich.com: raywenderlich.com is a website focused on developing high quality programming tutorials.

It’s right outside Washington DC, brought to you by the teams at raywenderlich.com and 360iDev. Here’s what makes RWDevCon special: Learn about iOS development with Swift via high quality hands-on tutorials led by the authors you know and love. Strong interactive focus - follow along with the instructor and learn by doing Make great friends and be a part of our awesome international community. Conference Highlights This year, for the first time ever, we offered two optional pre-conference workshops: Advanced App Architecture: This advanced workshop by Josh Berlin and René Cacheaux covered how to create a well designed boundary between subsystems, dependency injection, use case driven development, and more to result in a clean architecture for your apps. Advanced Apple Debugging and Reverse Engineering: This “mind-blowing” workshop by Derek Selander covered how to wield the power of LLDB and other debugging tools and dig deep into code. After the workshops, we had the opening reception for the conference. This was a chance for everyone to get to know each other, and enjoy some passed appetizers, beer, and mojitos! :] The next morning, Marin Todorov kicked off the conference with his inspiring speech titled Reflect & Refactor. He challenged us all to take stock of our lives at this moment, and ask ourselves “what do you need right now?” After that we started the main event of the conference: the 24 hands-on tutorials. The key difference is that instead of just watching the instructor talk, you code along with him or her! Some of our most popular tutorials this year included Swift Playgrounds in Depth, Server Side Swift, Advanced Auto Layout, Machine Learning, iOS Design Patterns, and Swift Memory Management. After two hard day’s work on tutorials, we switched over to inspiration talks. These are short, 18-minute non-technical talks designed to give you a new ideas and some battle-won advice, so you can go home energized and excited. Don’t worry – aside from all of these tutorials and inspiration talks, we had plenty of time for fun too. We played board games at lunch, and during our Friday night party we had the first ever James Dempsey Game Show! During the James Dempsey Game Show, contestants answered Apple and iOS trivia questions. Some were technical – like “Will it Compile?” – and some are non-technical, like “Who Said It – Jobs, Cook, or Ives?” The last day of the conference was on April 1, so of course we couldn’t miss the chance to play an April Fool’s joke on everyone: the “release” of Programmer Dancing by Tutorials! Then we had the real special surprise of the conference: all attendees got a free print copy of our new book RxSwift: Reactive Programming with Swift, and an advance copy of our upcoming book Advanced LLDB Debugging & Reverse Engineering (that isn’t even available on our site yet)! Overall, the team and I had so much fun learning, getting inspired, and meeting friends both new and old. We can’t wait for next year!
