“We are delighted that Apple continues to come close to the JavaScript community with Swift as their framework replacing Objective C. Getting up to speed with Swift is what the pre conference is all about and our goal is to have experienced coders ready to make the transition. Using the Swift framework takes away many of the issues in coding with Objective C and makes Apple more approachable for the rest of us who have been using JavaScript and Java for our mobile app development,” said Carl Ford, CEO, Crossfire Media, executive director of content, DevCon5. “The best part is that the move to swift helps reduce the problems of developing unique code for specific platforms while still optimizing the power of the Apple Ecosystem.”
