ABOUT

Swift Cloud Workshop & Hack Day is an all-day un-conference dedicated to building apps and networked services with Swift, brought to you by Amazon, Google, and IBM. This event showcases some of the recent innovations in Swift, both in mobile and server-side development.

To take advantage of the hands-on nature of the event, we recommend that attendees be at least familiar with Swift and/or similar programming languages.

We've curated and organized some client-side and server-side Swift presentation topics into several tracks (subject to change).

SwiftPM by Joe Heck

How to create manifests for libraries and projects, and use that to organize, build, and test your code

Using Swift with existing code base by Alven Mei of Alaska Airlines

Hear about why Alaska Airlines decided to integrate Swift into their existing iOS app

Kitura Walkthrough with Megan Kostick of IBM

How to set up a basic dynamic web site with Kitura in Angular

Swift-Kuery with David Okun of IBM

David will walk you through how to use Swift-Kuery, which is a new Native Querying Language made for Kitura.

Protocol Buffers by Tim Burks of Google

Protocol Buffers are Google's language-neutral, platform-neutral, extensible mechanism for serializing structured data – think XML, but smaller, faster, and simpler. But Google isn't the only company using Protocol Buffers. Apple recently released open source Swift support for Protocol Buffers, and while nothing has been disclosed, you might imagine many iOS systems that would benefit from a fast, robust way of serializing data. Could this help you make your apps better? You bet! We'll show you how.

OpenAPI by Tim Burks of Google

If you produce or use REST APIs, the OpenAPI Initiative is working to make your life better. The OpenAPI Specification is a standard description format for REST APIs that supports documentation, code generation, and a wide range of services for API producers and consumers. We'll look at some sample OpenAPI models and applications and a sample Swift application that uses OpenAPI.
