Useful Developer Tools

Here are some tools I personally use both in my personal and professional workspace. Most of these are available for free. Homebrew Homebrew for me is a must-have, it is the first software I install when I am setting up a new Mac computer and is the software I use

Swift Closures

We can think of closure as simply another way to write a function. It is simply a block of code that can be passed around to other functions. No parameter Let's say a simple function that receives no parameter and returns void: func doSomething() { //Do some work } This

Delegates & Protocols

Delegates and protocols are concepts commonly used in the Swift programming language, which is primarily used for iOS and macOS app development. They are fundamental building blocks for creating flexible and extensible code by enabling communication between different parts of an application. 1. Delegates: * A delegate is a design pattern

What is object-oriented programming?

Object-oriented programming (OOP) is widely used in various areas of software development. In essence, object-oriented programming is a versatile paradigm that is applied in various domains of software development to improve code organisation, reusability, and maintainability. So, let's break down the concept of object-oriented programming (OOP) into simpler

Web blog

Welcome to my website. In the upcoming period, I will be enriching this platform with content focused on design patterns and best practices, predominantly in Swift and SwiftUI. While I may occasionally delve into UIKit, my current focus is predominantly on exploring and mastering SwiftUI. I am Mark, a dedicated
