Mastering buttons in SwiftUI

Button is one of the regularly used components in SwiftUI. We use buttons to allow users to produce actions. That’s why it is so essential to generalize the look and feel of buttons in our apps.

This week I want to talk to you about using UIKit views in SwiftUI.

SwiftUI provides us a very fast and easy to use diffing algorithm, but as you might know, diffing is a linear operation. It means that diffing will be very fast for simple layouts and can take some time for a complicated layout.

Building networking layer using functions

This week I want to talk about building a networking layer in Swift using Functional programming. Functional programming is a way of making programs using pure functions and function composition. Let’s see how we can use it to build a flexible and composable network layer.
