WWDC Day 2 - more sessions and a party

Lots of sessions today. Let's tear right in:

• App Thinning in Xcode - Basically, the App Store will take your app apart and only deliver assets that your device needs. Storage savings good. You can also have on-demand resources. As long as your connected... They also talked about if you have your own distribution of apps (enterprise). If you set things up right using Assets catalogs, this is done for you. Cool.
• UI Testing in Xcode - OK, this stuff rocks. You can record your UI. You can introspect your UI. As long as it is accessible. Which is not that hard to make happen for most apps. (Firefox may be an exception....) I am really excited about this.
• Getting the Most out of App Analytics - Ugh. It's a website. They showed us features. Good data certainly, but a horrible topic for a talk. I walked out early.
• Protocal-Oriented Programming - Awesome talk. Basically, Swift has a much richer type safety mechanism using protocols than traditional OOP. Really enjoyed this talk, and will almost certainly watch it multiple times to understand everything that went on.
• CloudKit JS and WebServices - So, I wish I had attended or watched the CloudKit talk in 2014. Must do that. It looks awesome. This talk was about the JS libraries for it.

After the main conference, I went to see James Dempsey and the Breakpoints. Uneven songs musically, but the words are all about programming in Cocoa, and it's pretty funny. Check it out on iTunes if you are into that sort of thing.

And I closed the night having an excellent cocktail with my best friend, Paul Tien-Shih Lee, whose birthday it was. The View bar in the Marriot is wonderful.
