Meetup at IBM in Foster City: MVC and OpenAPI for iOS developers

We'll have two talks at our May meetup:

Massive View Controllers (and how to avoid them!) by Zubair Asgar

Model View Controller (MVC) is often considered the source of massive view controllers. The architectural pattern is often given a back seat because of this and other patterns such as VIPER or MVVM are introduced to projects instead. There is absolutely nothing wrong with using any of these patterns, and the problem of massive view controllers is a consequence of poor separation of concerns. This talk will discuss specific measures that will enable us to use MVC to write lean view controllers, without sacrificing any behavior. In addition, we’ll discover how to write unit and UI tests for an MVC architecture and if we have time, we’ll learn some more tips and tricks.

Zubair Asgar is a software engineer specialized in iOS development. Today, Zubair enjoys building great products and believes in augmenting life with technology.

Intro to OpenAPI for iOS developers - Erin McKean

We'll talk about OpenAPI Specification and how we can use it to build better apps.

Erin McKean is a Developer Advocate at IBM and as the founder and CEO of Wordnik, Erin was the first executive to say "yes" to OpenAPI.
