  • 89: Beginning iOS (Avi Gilligan)

    Mark can't figure out how to get out of New York City, so this week Gordon is joined by fellow thoughtbotter Avi Gilligan to talk about learning Swift, Objective-C, and iOS.

      At the end of a whirlwind week in Boston, Mark and Gordon talk about, like, every possible topic for 50 minutes. Even Thom up and left half way through. Topics include new open source projects (like Static, Tropos, and Curry), localization, and the world's oldest Red Sox fan.

      • 87: I Wrecked a Moped

        Mark's visiting the beast coast this week so the guys get to sit in the OG thoughtbot studio together, drink beer, and wax poetic about network testing and Tropos. Mark has literally never sounded better; Boston recording setup on fleek.

          This week Mark welcomes Tony to discuss Swift 2, Haskell development with Docker, and where the hell Gordon went. No seriously, where is he? I hope he comes back soon!

          • 85: <air quotes> Fixed </air quotes>

            Live from the Frisky Dingo, Mark and Gordon sit down to talk about the implications of new features and improvements added to Swift 2. If we're being honest, a large portion of the show is Mark pouring new-swift-error-handling fuel into the rage engine known as Gordon Fontenot. Gordon has also managed to segfault the new version of the compiler, so that's fun. Everything's fun.

            • 84: Another Goal for Science®

              This week, Gordon and Mark discuss organizing a BBQ in a puritan state on short notice, Gordon's upcoming road trip and move to Austin, and the pain of Swift/Objective-C interop. Also we're on the cusp of 90 second brew-at-home-in-your-microwave beer, people. What a time to be alive!

              • 83: We Don't Ship Enough Stuff in Wood Crates Anymore

                After chatting for entirely too long about hats, Mark and Gordon discuss some WWDC events that they are putting together, unearthing obscure design patterns in Apple's internal APIs, and working with push notifications. Also, Gordon turns the show into therapy with a great story about shitty neighbors.

                • 82: Lets Start the Show on a High Note

                  This week the guys attempt to demystify Swift with a little Q and A where Mark has the Qs and Gordon has the As (obviously). There's also just a little too much excitement about a MLB.tv Mac app. The transition to baseball podcast is nearly complete.

                    This week, Mark and Gordon discuss the inevitable rise of the Astros as the MLB leaders for striking out, a weird bug in Xcode that is causing it to build the wrong kind of archive, errors trying to build the Segment.io library using CocoaPods, really just a whole bunch of errors going on today.
