I went so fast, two weeks flew by…

Welcome to my ninth weekly newsletter. It is Thursday August 26, 2021.

These are the curated links from the last two regular episodes.

• Building a token refresh flow with async/await and Swift Concurrency
  A great overview of Donny and a rewrite of a previous article he wrote based on Combine with which he did the same thing.
• How to create a property wrapper in Swift | Swift with Majid
  If you want to learn the basics on property wrappers, look no further. Majid has you covered.
• How to do print debugging in SwiftUI | Sarunw
  SwiftUI is fantastic, but like any piece of code you need to debug it. With these helpful pointers by Sarun you will be debugging your SwiftUI code in no time with goiod old print statements.
• Flow layout with self-sizing items and fixed spacing in UIKit – Augmented Code
  A good flow layout is a thing of beauty. Read the article over at Augmented Code to get an overview and get started flowing your layouts yourself.
• Handling links with SwiftUI's openURL | FIVE STARS
  We all need to open URLs from our code every now and then. There is a simple API available to help you just that. Simple at first glance. This is an API that is a lot deeper then you would expect.
• How to write unit tests for SwiftUI apps | mokacoding
  Testing SwiftUI code can be a challenge, so many moving parts. Read this article to learn about a way to strike a good balance between what to test and what not to test.
• Unit testing UIView action and gesture in Swift
• How to show multiple alerts on the same view in SwiftUI | Sarunw
  A second link by Sarun. This one is about some tricky behavior you need to deal with when you try to present multiple alerts at the same time.
• How to use throwing properties to catch failures in Swift - SwiftLee
  Throwing properties is one of those things you want to adopt in Swift as soon as you see it. Why wasn't this possible before? Who knows. But now you van throw from var getters when you need to.

There were also a few random links mentioned. I wanted to include those as well.

• AppForce1 Lead Developer Workshop
• Staff Engineer: Leadership beyond the management track
• An introduction to Kailh switches, including Speed & Box – The Keyboard Company

Life got busy and I missed my window to send my weekly newsletter last week. I thought about this and I thought it was better to skip and include the content this week.

The work on my Lead Developer workshop is still ongoing and the event is next week already. Time flies. And the work in preparing for that is part of why I missed last week's newsletter.

Why should you join this you might ask?

If you have been or expect to be in this situation. This workshop is for you.

You worked hard. Solving problems and coding smart solutions is your thing. And then there is a day where the bomb is dropped. "Would you like to be promoted to the team's lead developer?" Stress levels sky rocket. I am not ready. How do I know what to do?
