Ask HN: Great iOS / Swift Blogs?

[rayascott]

I’m getting back into iOS development after a 3 year break, which means I’ve missed Swift 2 & 3. Can anyone recommend blogs that publish regularly on Swift and iOS development besides the official Apple Swift blog, Ray Wenderlich and NSHipster? Thanks.

Here are my favourites: https://www.natashatherobot.com https://www.swiftbysundell.com http://whatsnewinswift.com https://rambo.codes

And sporadically, I'll write a few myself: http://blog.chrishannah.me/category/swift-tips/

We don’t lack for wonderful writers in the Apple ecosystem. Along with objc.io I’d heartily suggest:

https://oleb.net (Ole Begemann) https://www.mikeash.com/pyblog/ (Mike Ash)

Can't beat Mike Ash. His Friday Q&A series is just fantastic: plenty of people tell you about what to do, others will explain the why, but read those and you'll get the what behind the why, and why it is that way.

I write reference-style articles on confusing/underused areas of iOS development, and maintain links to hard to find documentation over at https://www.iosdev.recipes

[daveverwer]

I maintain a directory of people writing about iOS development here: https://iosdevdirectory.com. Might be useful!

Coincidentally I do something similar for Rust, but in not nearly as grand a fashion... https://github.com/rayascott/fearless-rust-bloggers

Ohhhh the motherload :-) (bows with hands in a prayer position)

Not mentioned yet: Souroush Khanlou http://khanlou.com is always at the top of my list. Thoughtful and very practical material. Also Dave DeLong: https://davedelong.com/blog/

> I’ve missed Swift 2 & 3

In some ways this is an advantage to you. There was a fair bit of churn in that time period. Things have settled reasonably well now.

[rayascott]

Thanks for the recommendations and it’s encouraging to hear things have settled down in Swift 4.

I subscribe to https://talk.objc.io/. Highly recommend it.
