The Future of Work in Tasmania

I’m really excited to be on a panel at the University of Tasmania in a few weeks on The Future of Work in Tasmania! It’s a free event, and there are refreshments! Come along! You can learn more, and register, on the UTAS website.

Doing things the hard way

This year, Jon gave a talk at GDC called “Making Night in the Woods Better with Open Source”. In it, he talked about how Night in the Woods (which came out last month and you should totally go buy) used the open source process in its development.

Unlike most of our other talks, we did something a little ridiculous with this one – we built an entire presentation system, from scratch, into Night in the Woods. We’re actually pretty proud of this, and so we put together a video showing how it was done. Check it out!

Swift is open source!

… and I’ll have more to say on that topic soon! In the mean time:

Jon and I have written a post on Swift for the O’Reilly Programming blog, it’s the first of three, and it covers why Swift is an interesting language;
I’ll be speaking at the Functional Programming Miniconf, at linux.conf.au 2016, about (you guessed it) functional programming with Swift! (registrations for linux.conf.au 2016 are open until January 29th!)
our new book, Learning Swift, is getting rave reviews, and is nearing final release; you can buy it now in Early Release, and get updates!

More soon!

The Mün and back: a Kerbal tale

OSCON 2012

Delighted to note that I’ll be presenting “Android-Fu: awesome apps for Ice Cream Sandwich and beyond” with my friends & colleagues, Chris and Jon, at O’Reilly’s OSCON 2012 this year in Portland. We presented on a similar topic very successfully last year, and I can’t wait to do it again!
