If we had a Ruby Conference, it would be Bayou City Ruby, and no one would know where it was. CHUCK: Yeah, that’s true. ANDREW: We’d all be in Louisiana.

CHUCK: Hey, I managed to say that right! Do you wanna introduce yourself for those of us who don’t know who you are? MANTON: Sure. My name is Manton Reece, and I work for a company called VitalSource doing e-book software with Mac iOS12 web development, and I have a little side business called Riverfold Software where I have a number of iOS and Mac apps, web apps. CHUCK: Cool! So we brought you on today to talk about subscription APIs and recurring revenue – is that a thing for iOS? MANTON: That’s a thing for iOS. It depends who you ask what kind of answer you're gonna get about the right way to do that, or whether you should do it. But it’s a thing, I would say. CHUCK: I thought the thing was to write Angry Birds and make millions of dollars. MANTON: That’s one way to do it. The problem with the app store – the great thing and the problem is that you do have these huge hits that make way too much money, but then most of us aren’t that lucky, and even the ones that are lucky have a big hit, you sell a bunch of copies, you quit your job, you say, “This is great” and you do really well. Eventually, your app’s gonna fall out of the top 10 and top 100 and sales are gonna drop off and so you have to do it all over again and get a big launch. So, the subscriptions, the hope is you get a little more recurring revenue,

JAIM: Hello from Minneapolis, where it’s a balmy 4°. CHUCK: Pete Hodgson. PETE: You just totally stole my thunder. I was going to complain about being cold in San Francisco, but it’s a lot warmer than that. Hello from not-so-frigid San Francisco. CHUCK: How cold is it in San Francisco? PETE: [Chuckles] Like, 32°. I don’t know, it feels like it’s freezing, but it’s probably not even 32°. Probably warmer than that, just cold for San Francisco. CHUCK: Charles Max Wood from DevChat.tv and it’s also 4° here. PETE: Okay, I’ll stop complaining. JAIM: Really? Or is it just dry cold? CHUCK: Yeah, it’s just dry cold here, too. We did get some snow. JAIM: There we go. PETE: It all makes sense now. JAIM: A little bit nicer. CHUCK: Yeah. Gives you something to do – go shovel snow, go skiing – we’re making people jealous now, I'm sure. PETE: I think I've been here once in San Francisco when it snowed, and it was like two or three flakes on the top of Twin Peaks, which is like the only really tall bit of San Francisco, and people drove their cars up there in the middle of the night to see these snowflakes fall [chuckles]. But it wasn’t like snowball fights; it was like four snowflakes. It was really exciting; it made my year. No skiing that year for us at San Francisco. CHUCK: Oh, come on. Alright. Anyway, so today on our [inaudible] we have MVC. JAIM: Alright, we’re talking MVC – an MVC extravaganza of sorts, I think. CHUCK: Yup. [Chuckles] PETE: Maybe we should start off with a definition. CHUCK: [Chuckles] A definition. Thanks, Josh. JAIM: That might take the entire episode, I think. PETE: With MVC, I always get really confused. So I know what MVC stands for: Model-View-Controller. And I kind of understand the principles quite well. But what I don’t get is the difference between MVC and MVP, and then it gets really confusing when you start talking about some of the other things out there. This is a long shot. Do either of you two know the difference between MVC and MVP? Because I definitely could not answer that if I have to save my life. CHUCK: I have a very vague idea of what it means, so I'm not even going to venture to try because I’ll probably get it wrong. One thing that I can say, though is that I've come to iOS programming from a very strong Rails background, and MVC in Rails and MVC in iOS are not the same. JAIM: Yup. CHUCK: I tend to think of iOS as more of an MVVM, because –. JAIM: I forgot about that one. CHUCK: The controller acts more like a view model or a view controller than it does, you know, a full-on controller.

This week on our panel, we have Jaim Zuber. JAIM: Hello from Minneapolis. CHUCK: Pete Hodgson. PETE: Hello from San Francisco. CHUCK: Ben Scheirman’s going to be joining us in a few. This is a weird Christmas episode that we’re recording a little bit early. I’m Charles Max Wood from DevChat.tv and I just want to announce really quickly that if you go to RailsRampUp.com and you sign up before the end of the year, the 31st basically, actually I’m going to give you a few extra days. If you sign up by the 4th, then you can get 30 percent off if you want to learn Ruby on Rails, which is a handy thing for backend stuff. Anyway, this week we’re going to talk about some of the differences between some of our language backgrounds that we have. Some of us come from more enterprise languages like .NET or Java and some of us come from the hippie languages like Ruby, so should be an interesting discussion. JAIM: I think so. CHUCK: So real quickly, besides Objective-C, what are your languages that come out of your tool bag when you need to do something different? JAIM: Well for a long time, I did C# and .NET. Even before that, it was C and C++, embedded stuff, thick client stuff. So I can write C in any language, pretty much. [Chuckles] But things that I like with Objective-C is I’m getting more familiar with how a dynamic language really helps us out, especially with testing and being able to be more fluid with our development. So I like that. But I definitely do come from a static language background. I don’t know. What about you guys? PETE: So I guess I’ve been all over the place. I started off my career in C++. So when I first started doing iOS development, that actually felt quite familiar in some ways, doing manual memory management and all that fun stuff. And then I bounced around a bunch. I did some C#. I did a fair amount of Ruby. I still do quite a lot of Ruby. I do a lot of JavaScript. I do my current project, I’m writing Scala. I’m doing embedded C++ development in my spare time at the moment with Arduinos. So I guess I’ve been all over the place. But my main, my language I reach for the most is probably Ruby, still. And yeah, it’s interesting. I guess I’ve come to my journey into Objective-C is the opposite where I’m coming more from a dynamic place and seeing how it’s actually quite nice to have a type system sometimes, or have a static type system sometimes, and annoying as well. CHUCK: Very nice. BEN: It was a good fight we have right now. [Laughter] PETE: You know what? If you ever want to play with a strong type system, do some Scala development and you’ll either fall in love with type safety or you’ll absolutely hate it. It’s been driving me a little bit crazy but it’s also pretty cool. But anyway, that’s I guess a different podcast. CHUCK: Yeah. My background, I did Java and C++ in college but didn’t really take it seriously.

CHUCK: Andrew Madsen. ANDREW: Hi from Salt Lake City. CHUCK: Ben Scheirman. BEN: Hi from Houston. CHUCK: I'm Charles Max Wood from devchat.tv and we have a special guest this week, and that is Matthew Morey. MATTHEW: Hello, also from Houston. CHUCK: So since you haven’t been on the show before, do you wanna introduce yourself? MATTHEW: Sure. So I got a couple of degrees in semiconductors physics and electrical engineering and quickly did nothing with those degrees. Spent a couple of years working on embedded electronics and a lot of C programming. And iOS SDK came out and jumped it to that, and been doing my own apps, including Buoy Explorer, which is a marine conditions app for surfers and water sports enthusiasts, where I implemented core data improperly there. And also I do work for a company here in Houston called ChaiOne, where we do a lot of client work. CHUCK: Yeah, I've met those guys before. MATTHEW: My boss is a real stickler. CHUCK: Yeah, I've heard that a couple of times. We brought John today to talk about high performance core data. Are there tricks to making core data perform or does it just work, or what? MATTHEW: Well, you can check the check box in the templates and it will generally just work. The problem is that it is such a complex framework and it’s just its so flexible and large. It’s very easy to put yourself in a bind or do the wrong thing and then suddenly, you'll have performance issues. I spent a lot of time making those mistakes, and I finally got to the point where I just wanted to figure all that out and kind of wrap my head around it. And so I've been focusing on that a lot, in particular. JAIM: You mentioned in Buoy Explorer, you initially did it improperly. Do you wanna elaborate on what mistakes you made there? MATTHEW: Yeah, so a common pattern in apps is you have to import data; either user’s data from the server or just general data, be it JSON, XML. On Buoy Explorer’s case, I'm downloading a bunch of data from these Buoys that are on the ocean and I measure wind conditions. And this data is very dense, so there's readings every 15 minutes from hundreds and thousands of these buoys. So there's a lot amount of data. And the way that the data is structured, I can't really fetch that data in a network efficient way. Unfortunately, I have to grab large amounts of data at a time. And importing that data into the persistence layer or into core data takes time; the data has to be parsed, the relationships have to be made, and then it has to be saved.

CHUCK: I asked you before the show, I’m going to ask you again, how does that relate to iOS programming? AARON: I’ve noticed that a lot of us iOS devs come from more of the finite programming that we know – JavaScript and CSS – it’s just this kind of a logical step into iOS app development. I came from a Java enterprise background so I’m very familiar with writing apps that are behind other apps. I noticed that a lot of iOS developers are afraid of integrating their app with a server, and that there’s a lot of apps that have to talk to other users or there’s central data. So I think it’s a really important topic just because apps can be so much more powerful if they are connected with other people. CHUCK: Absolutely. Are you talking about API services like Facebook or Twitter? Or, are you talking about more of the backend systems like Parse? AARON: Yeah, it’s more of the backend systems like Parse.

Independent consultants, I've been doing iOS stuff for about 2-3 years; before that, I did some kind of .NET stuff. Way before that, I did a lot of C++ and C stuff in kind of the past life. But, yeah, I'm doing iOS right now, mobile stuff, and enjoying it! CHUCK: Sounds good! I'm Charles Max Wood from DevChat.tv. This week, we're going to talk about "CocoaPods". BEN: Yay! CHUCK: [Laughs] ROD: [Chuckles] JAIM: I'm cuckoo for CocoaPods. CHUCK: There we go. JAIM: [Laughs] BEN: I'm a super fan of CocoaPods. I wonder if we have any haters in the audience, or on the panel. ANDREW: Yeah, I'm the hater. BEN: [Inaudible] ANDREW: Not really. BEN: Okay [laughs]. ANDREW: I just don't use it. BEN: You say you're the dissenting opinion? ANDREW: I can do that, sure.

This week on our panel, we have Ben Scheirman. BEN: Hello from Houston! CHUCK: We also have Rod Schmidt. ROD: Hello from Salt Lake! CHUCK: I'm Charles Max Wood from DevChat.tv. This week, we're going to be talking about "Connecting to Backend APIs and just Backend Systems" in general. I'm curious, how much of this kind of thing have you guys done in the past? BEN: That's pretty much the central part of any app that we develop. Most apps aren't really self-contained; it's a functionality. A lot of them required data that's accessible somewhere else. Or, even if you generate the data on the device, usually, people want to access that data elsewhere as well. So sometimes, you can consider things like iCloud, but that's more of an Apple-centric solution if you're billing it out for the web or for multiple platforms, and maybe you would consider building your own API and synchronizing with that. CHUCK: When you're talking about building your own API, I know that there are these syncing services out there that you send data to it and it does something with it, do you know under what circumstances that would be a good idea versus building your own API that does specific things with the data on the backend? BEN: It really depends on where, how much focus you have, how much time do you have to build something and where your skill set lies. For folks who aren't server-side developers, building an API is actually a tall order, and there are plenty of solutions out there that will do that for you at the cost of, sometimes flexibility, sometimes data portability, and you're sort of at the whim of the interface that they provide for you. But there's systems like Windows Add/Removal services, which allow you to just focus on your part - the mobile client portion of it. But they have support for saving data and sending push notifications, that sort of thing. There's also parse and there's just a bunch of others out there that can synchronize data. Some of them are focused purely on synchronizing Core Data models. So there's iCloud Core Data, which receives some sort of a lot of negative press,

PETE: Good morning from San Francisco! CHUCK: We also have Ben Scheirman. BEN: Hello from Houston, Texas! CHUCK: I'm Charles Max Wood from DevChat.tv. And we have a special guest this week, that is Saul Mora! SAUL: Hello from Denver! CHUCK: Denver? I thought you said Fort Collins? Is that not the same thing? SAUL: [laughs] No, that's where the beer is. Okay [laughs] CHUCK: Oh, I see. SAUL: Right. But yeah, that wouldn't be so bad to go and get some beer now. CHUCK: If you go and get too much beer, is it a one-way trip [inaudible]? SAUL: [chuckles] Yeah, well, I have to take some guest with me. CHUCK: Oh, here you go. SAUL: But no...yeah, that's where the New Belgium Brewery is, so I take guests over there quite often. So for anybody comes and visit me in Denver, definitely head on up there. CHUCK: Well I don't drink alcohol, but I'm going to be in Denver this weekend. SAUL: Cool! CHUCK: Maybe I'll come and shake your hand, buy you lunch, or something. SAUL: Yeah! Just let me know! CHUCK: Awesome! ROD: You get to be the driver. [laughter] SAUL: There you go! CHUCK: I don't know what my wife would say about that. [laughter] SAUL: Oh, there are plenty of breweries out here to visit. So, we can visit them anywhere. CHUCK: Awesome! Well this week, we're going to be talking about CoreData. Or, do you call it Core Data? SAUL: [laughs] I thought that was an English thing; Pete might know. PETE: I'll refer to it as Core Data! [laughter] PETE: It's the French pronunciation. I still say Data; it's one of the few English things that I still say in the English way [inaudible]. SAUL: So do you say Beta or Beta? PETE: Oh, that's a good (question). I think I say Beta now just because it's like a -- I was going to say just because it's a software thing, but Beta was a software thing. So, I don't know. SAUL: We have gotten to him! Great! [Chuck laughs] PETE: Yeah. My covers are blown. [laughter] PETE: Actually, I'm native Texan. CHUCK: Yeah, you've seen that? Now you only sound cool when you're talking about things other than computers. PETE: Yup. CHUCK: Alright. So CoreData,

CHUCK: We also have, Rod Schimdt. ROD: Hello from Salt Lake City! CHUCK: Sorry, Rod. I was looking at Pete's picture and I was like "No, I already said Pete". [laughter] BEN: Yeah, for those who didn't get the joke we were looking at the transcription from last episode, or from episode 1. And -- CHUCK: Did that get fixed? PETE: It got fixed, yeah. BEN: Okay. So originally, Pete said he's from Berkeley and it came through as Butte Lake, which I thought was hilarious. PETE: I was pretty -- I was looking for the transcript -- it's pretty hilarious how much my accent has closed issues. For whatever personal machine is doing that transcription is definitely challenged by my accent. CHUCK: We're really sorry to the transcriptionist. PETE: Yeah. [laughter] CHUCK: We will pick our panelist more carefully next time. PETE: Oh! It's my fault, huh? [laughter] CHUCK: Anyway...And you can tell I had to ask if it got fixed because I just asked Mandy to do it and assume it's done. PETE: Yeah. No, she fixed it. She fixed it very very quickly. CHUCK: Yeah. PETE: And I'm used to that. I'm living in a [inaudible] when you found out like you have automated voice systems. They often don't work with British accent so I have to put on like a stupid American accent when I'm...operator! [laughter] PETE: Reservations. [laughter] CHUCK: It's funny, too, because a lot of times on those automated systems, they have somebody with a British accent or a fake British accent like speaking. BEN: Yeah. PETE: Yeah. But they didn't understand British. Siri didn't understand British for a very long time because you couldn't get like, if you lived in the US, you couldn't get American, so you couldn't get British Siri to work with like American information. So if I wanted to actually know about anything about America like where I live, I'd have to use the American version Siri, but she couldn't understand my pronunciation.
