Ever since he started his communications and multimedia design studies in Amsterdam, he knew that he didnt just want to build great websites and apps, but also transfer knowledge to his peers and newcomers. He got involved with coaching, mentoring, and assisting in his freshman year.During his final two years at college, hes been a teacher in web development and spent most of his free time exploring iOS and Objective-C. When Swift was first announced, it didnt take long for him to start playing around with it, and after just a few months of learning and experimenting Donny became the lead iOS developer for the start-up where hed been working at the time.As an active member of the iOS-developers Slack community, Donny is always up for helping out people with their code and sharing his own knowledge with his peers.Table of ContentsUITableView touch-upA better layout with UICollectionViewCreating a contact detail pageImmersing your users with animationImproving your code with value typesMaking your code more flexible with Protocols and GenericsRefactoring the contacts appAdding CoreData to your appStoring and querying user dataFetching and displaying data from the networkBeing pro-active with Background FetchEnriching apps with the Camera, Motion and LocationExtending the world with ARKitExchanging Date with Drag and DropMaking smarter apps with CoreMLIncreasing your apps discoverability with Spotlight and Universal LinksInstant information with a Notification Center widgetImplementing rich notificationsExtending iMessageIntegrating your app with Siri
