Happy new year everyone! We (Vinicius and Lucas) spent the past month thinking about what we created in the past 3.5 years and how AwesomeiOS is today. One of our main goals in 2018 is to make a stronger newsletter and a stronger website so the community can better access the huge amount of information that is currently in the Github repository.
The first thing you can expect is the model of this week: 2 blog posts and 5 libraries per week, being delivered to you every Thursday. Second thing is that we'll have a new design of the newsletter, making it prettier and easier to read.
The first week's featured blog post is Basics of parallel programming with Swift written by Jan Olbrich. He talks about _____
The second featured post is Best iOS hacks from Twitter: December Edition, from Lisa Dziuba, the co-founder of Flawless, a tool to help developers build pixel perfect apps. Every month Lisa asks iOS tips on Twitter and people reply with some really interesting things.
