👉Talk 1: "Organising chaos: Adapting architectures to deal with anything!" by Ryan Anderson
We often see blog posts about the hottest new mobile architecture, promising to be the answer to all our problems. How should you choose? We'll talk about the challenges of architecting a really complicated screen such as a chat as a way of illustrating the process for any app!
About me: I'm the Lead Engineer at Flick, I've spent a lot of the last few years building mobile chat experiences that scale and are easy to use!

👉Talk 2: "The User Is Just Another Input, TDD View Models using RxSwift" by Mike Velu
We'll look at how we can design our view models as functions to which the user is just an input. We'll design the public API in our tests, and eventually plug the view model into a simple list view with things like pull to refresh and error handling.
About me: Senior iOS Developer at Waracle, specialising in Rx for the last 2 years. Constantly learning, currently tinkering with Elixir & the BEAM outside of work.
