What’s your experience with Objective-C?

  • Obj-C since iOS 5 and still using it jeje
  • Multiple apps for enterprises (bank, cars, pharmaceutical, etc…)

What part of Swift sucks the most? (It’s OK if you can’t narrow it down to just one)

  • As a whole… that moment when you open a swift project after a swift - xcode update and you have infinite warnings and errors…
  • Choosing beetwen structs… enums… classes… I am thankful for the latest tutorial on that topic by the way.

Do you agree facial hair should be limited to eyebrows?

  • Full beard and mustache is cool

  • Only mustache… you are a hipster

  • This would actually be cool, have both Obj-C and Swift and it was posted a day prior to 1st of April jajaja

What’s your experience with ObjectMultiple

I wrote most of the logic of a Nasa mission computer in objective-c

I hate it because when I open xcode it never say me “good morning Paolo”
Also after I close the playground I have to tidy up the room and all the toys scattered around!

Do you agree facial hair should be limited to eyebrows?

Yes but I want world at peace so they should be rainbow colored

OMG The main reason why i joined RW was to learn/practice Swift coding. I’ll have to cancel my subscription…
Any tips on good Swift tutorial sites? Going trough Apple’s documentation alone is not really doing it for me

Oh, no, I already have blasted all my Obj-C books…:cry:…Happy April Fool’s Day!!! :laughing:

HAH, great prank. For one moment I thought you were serious. :joy:

It’s a prank, don’t worry.

I doubt that. Its mr Wenderlich officially, why would he make fun out of such a serious issue.
It’s true that swift has given apple a lot of headache lately with the version changes
