In this episode we tackle showing a list of posts, which requires us to convert the network models into models more fit for the UI, parsing HTML in order to display as an AttributedString, and displaying the author information.

Sometimes we run into issues where SwiftUI doesn't quite do what we need. In some cases, SwiftUI views are powered by UIKit under the hood. Wouldn't it be great (and devious) to dig into the underlying UIKit views to customize things when vanilla SwiftUI just won't cut it? In this episode we'll look at a technique for discovering the UIKit underneath SwiftUI views.

One of the most impactful things you can do to improve productivity is to improve turnaround time when iterating on features. Playgrounds and Xcode Live Previews are great, but both have their limitations. In this episode we will explore how to utilize hot module reloading to have the simulator automatically reflect your changes when you save. It's magic, and will blow your mind!

One way of achieving modularization is to build frameworks using nested Xcode projects. This has the benefit of having everything in one place and can easily build the entire thing. You can also zero-in on a single project and just work from there if you want. Each sub-project can have its own tests, sample application, etc.

In this episode we will talk about the overview and motivation for a modular project architecture. Why split things up? I'll talk about the problems we face, what benefits we may achieve, and how can we approach the problem.

One of my favorite new features of Xcode 13 is support for Vim key bindings. In this episode we will see how to enable this and I'll give a quick tour of how to get around using Vim.

In the next few episodes we will explore the concept of Protocol Witnesses. This is an advanced topic that can be somewhat hard to approach, but in learning about Protocol Witnesses you will see how we can leverage the Swift language and functional programming to do some really cool things.

Context menus are a great affordance for performing related actions to a UI element. Users can tap and hold to view the context menu, and the gesture is consistent across the OS so users will likely already be familiar with it. In this episode we'll show how to set up a basic context menu with a custom preview with normal and destructive actions.

This is a discussion and code overview of another implementation of mapping models using key paths with a special guest, Antoine van der Lee! In this episode we talk about his initial goals and constraints, and some of the design tradeoffs he made while designing a solution that would give him a bidirectional mapping between Core Data entities and other model types.

First introduced in iOS 13, UICollectionViewCompositionalLayout is an amazing and powerful addition that gives you lots of flexibility when describing layouts. There are a few new types to get used to (namely sections, groups, and items) but they all work together allowing you to keep layout separate from your views and your data.

In this episode we migrate our collection view to use the new cell registration API. Using this API we no longer need to cast dequeued cell types to our custom types. Instead, we set up the registration object with the cell type and the data we'll be passing to each cell. This further reduces the code we have to write in our datasource implementation and gives us more flexibility on how and where cells are configured.

In this episode we review the basic example app and start setting up our collection view in code. We start with the basic flow layout which is most common. Later we'll refactor this to use the newer style, but this episode introduces the series and sets up the foundation we'll build upon.

With UITableView no longer being encouraged for use, we need to replace this behavior with UICollectionView. This is where UICollectionViewListLayout comes into play. Using this layout we can get the familiar table view appearance in plain and grouped styles (as well as additional styles to support sidebars on iPad and macOS). This includes support for sticky headers and footers, swipe actions, and other UITableView behaviors that we've come to rely on.

I've been working on rendering waveforms using mathematical functions and have found the experience to be both fun and enlightening. In this episode we will develop a method to render arbitrary functions using a Shape, then explore some mathematical concepts that can help us render a nice looking waveform that could be use to indicate activity in sound, speech, or other effects.

With the introduction of LazyVGrid and LazyHGrid In iOS 14 we now have access to much more powerful grid-based layouts in SwiftUI. In this episode We will examine the different types of layouts we can accomplish with flexible, fixed, and adaptive sizing for our rows and columns. We'll look at how animations work between different layouts, and how to consider larger screen sizes.

A few episodes back we covered how to wrap a UIActivityIndicatorView to show loading progress in SwiftUI. Now in iOS 14 this is built in. In this episode we'll cover the various styles, how to hook it up to a Progress instance, and how to create your own custom progress visualizations.

iOS 14 Beta is now available and one of the new features is Lazy stacks. With a normal stack, all the layout happened at once, which meant poor performance for large lists of content, grids, etc. With Lazy stacks the views are only created when they first come on screen, greatly increasing the usefulness of stacks for large or infinite collections of content.

Nadine Bergner ist seit April 2019 Professorin für Didaktik der Informatik an der TU Dresden und arbeitet in der Lehre viel mit Screencasts. Was bei der Produktion so zu bedenken ist, wie sie diese einsetzt und warum sie noch einige Jahre von den Erfahrungen, die sie jetzt macht, profitieren wird, verrät Sie uns in dieser Folge des Podcast Trafohaus//Lehre des HDS. Produktionsdatum: 16.04.2020

• 2 Truths & 1 Lie
• Question #1: What would be the best way to communicate and share tech-related tips and content with teachers who don't even open emails or have little planning time? I've tried a Google Classroom, newsletters (Adobe Spark, Google newsletter templates), emails, etc. Would love to hear some new ideas!
  • audience submitted question, Cathy Zandecki
  • Part of the issue is communicating with people who are uncomfortable with tech through technology.
    • Communicate via paper-based
    • Potty PD, Copier PD
  • Use multiple different communication techniques: email, Google Classroom, newsletter, paper flyers, mention at meetings
  • Make sure you’re consistently bringing value in order to keep your “audience” listening
  • Use visual design, possibly color-coding
  • How to decide when to give up on a strategy?
    • Concrete observations
    • Watch what happens if you do take it away
  • Sethi: “It’s not about you.  It’s the same as with your students: if they’re starting to use a technique or something that you’ve taught them, you’re not there for the credit.  You’re not doing that so that they’ll say ‘So-and-so taught me this.’ No, no no, they’ve got this now!  That is the reward!”
• Question #2: How can we leverage the power of video to impact student learning?
  • EdPuzzle
  • An expanded version of Jakes’ “beard & glasses” story - Episode 11
  • Don’t over-use video
  • Sethi: All teachers and students should create video!
  • Screencasting
  • Flipgrid
  • Sethi’s recommendation: keep videos used in the classroom short;  2 minutes
  • Interaction built into video can be helpful
  • Be present and available for students when they’re viewing the video
  • Break up a video on Google Slides to make it smaller chunks
  • Put video onto Google Sites and use Insert Learning to embed questions
  • Use a backchannel chat tool

      • Limitations are editing
    • Quicktime on Mac
    • Game Recording on PC 
    • Camtasia on Mac or PC
  • Sethi on choosing which tool to have students use: “It is whatever works for you, because I’m not there to see how you’re using a tool or how you’re using the tech.  I want to see did you actually understand what we talked about? Did you get the content rather than the tool.”
