Ok, time to stop celebrating your success from Part 1 where you got to install Xcode Server and created your very first Bot, which checked out and tested my demo project from GitHub. I left you just after you created your Bot, which, as you probably saw, triggered the first Integration of your Bot. Today, we will look at what this means and how to take advantage of Xcode’s beautiful visualizations of Integration results.

We all know how it works. Your iOS teammate works on a feature branch for weeks and he doesn’t merge changes from other people into his branch during this time. Then your PM starts pushing the team to deliver said feature, so a pull request is created, people skim over the code (because it contains four thousand additions), and when it’s been reviewed “enough”, you just merge it and all is good. Right?
Nope.

I gave a talk at NSLondon about Continuous Integration in May 2015.
Please note that this was before WWDC 2015, Xcode 7 and the public API of Xcode Server.

While adding SSH key validation to Buildasaur, I encountered an interesting problem. It was relatively difficult to find advice on how to run simple Terminal scripts from your Mac app written in Swift.

As part of building a project called Buildasaur, I had a chance to explore the ins and outs of Xcode Server. Xcode Server is a combination of two of Apple’s apps, OS X Server and Xcode. Together, they can provide a continuous integration server for your repository. Today, I’ll talk about how Xcode Server works under the hood, which open source frameworks it uses internally and I’ll even show you how to connect to its hidden API. We have a lot to cover, so let’s get started!

I’m going to WWDC 2015! Odds were in my favour, apparently, and after two years of not having a sponsor and a year of sucking at lotteries, I have finally been given the chance to see Moscone Center at the biggest Apple event of the year.

I might be Mr. Obvious today, but please bear with me.
When I started learning Javascript in the context of writing server-side Node.js code, I really enjoyed the simplicity and the lack of initial work that has to be put in to get a quick server running. The complete dynamism of Javascript turned out to be a double-edged sword, however.

Yesterday we released a big update to SwiftKey for iOS, bringing emoji, click sounds, more languages and Flow on iPad. Update in the AppStore, if it hasn’t automatically yet and if you have a second to spare, please leave us a nice review!

Many of my friends have noticed that I often start a sentence by saying: ”I was listening to this podcasts…”. Truth is, I spend hours listening to podcasts each day and as such they have become one of my main sources of random information. Some people ask me which podcasts they should start with, if they wanted to take up listening as well - which lead me to put together a series of blog posts about the podcasts I listen to.

Ever since rumours of some new future iPad also supporting a first party stylus started flying around, some people in the Twitter-sphere seem to be way over excited. But not because they’d want to buy one, but due to a chance to call out Apple for hypocrisy. Let me explain.

📺 I know. I missed my window of opportunity to share this before holidays. Oh well, here it is in case you still haven’t seen it.
