He blogs on Medium , often tweets here and in his spare time, is bootstrapping Event.Run .

Daniel presents iPhone, Cocoa, and Swift training and consults through his company Dim Sum Thinking . He is the co-host of the Tiny Challenges Podcast . When he's not coding or talking about coding for the Mac, the iPhone, and the iPad he's probably cooking or hanging out with friends.

He has been developer since 1987 when he started writing accounting software using COBOL on a Convergent Unix machine using vi as his IDE. (Sorry Emacs people). Since then he has worked on mainframes (ICL, DEC, & IBM), 16bit and 32 bit Windows, .NET and since 2007 OS X and (a little later) iOS . During his career he has learnt (and forgotten) more languages and IDE’s than is possibly healthy for one lifetime.

Catja is a member of the SwiftLdn group , where she has given several talks, most recently a lightning talk on levelling up programming skills.

Whether you are an educator, working in a team, or ‘just’ teaching yourself, this talk will give you better tools for dealing with complexity. Catja will explore learning styles, motivation and coder’s block, practice and best practice, as well as involving the community and giving back to it – using the rather intimidating CoreData framework as an example.
