Year: 2016 Difficulty: Beginner Watch here Stick with it to the end, because there are some super important tips to make sure your fonts look great! 11. When Apple designed the San Francisco font family in 2015, they put an epic amount of thought into how it looked and worked across all font weights, sizes, formats, and more, and this talk walks you through how extensive their reasoning was. No, I’m not joking – this really deserves to be here. Yes, it’s a session entirely about fonts. Year: 2015 Difficulty: Beginner Watch here The project they use – a slide out drawer with a UIVisualEffectView grows and grows as they make it increasingly more powerful, and shows off neat tricks like transferring gesture recognizers from a scroll view to another view. In earlier WWDCs the scrollview talks were always amongst the best, and this one effectively capped it all off with an incredible talk that even today will give you ideas for how to solve touch handling problems.

Officially this talk is a glimpse into the way Apple prototypes some of its own things, but although I don’t know how accurate that is I can say this talk does make a solid point: if you have an app idea and you want to see how it might looks and work, you can build a rough prototype in something like Keynote before committing many more resources to building an actual example project. Year: 2014 Difficulty: Beginner Watch here This talk uses extensive code examples to give clear, practical guidance to help you write more efficient code – if you’ve seen things like O( n) in the Swift documentation and wondered what it means in practice, this talk is for you. It’s rare for Apple to get right down to the fundamentals of computer science, but when they do it they do it well. Year: 2018 Difficulty: Advanced Watch here Sponsor Hacking with Swift and reach the world's largest Swift community! 15. SPONSORED From May 15th to 21st, you can join a FREE crash course for mid/senior iOS devs who want to achieve an expert level of technical and practical skills – it’s the fast track to being a complete senior developer! Without further ado, here are what I consider to be the best WWDC videos of all time… This is also subjective – it’s just to give you a rough guide. I’ve attempted to mark each talk as being Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced.If you disagree you’re welcome to tweet me. I’ve tried to pick talks that I know contain lots of useful information so you can learn something valuable. If similar content from an older video was presented in a newer video, the newer video is included.Yes, I know they are awesome, particularly the keynote where Swift was introduced, but it wouldn’t be fair. That doesn’t necessarily mean it must be about Swift, but any killer talks about things Apple has replaced, discontinued, or sidelined, weren’t considered for this list. So, with the help of many friends on the internet I put together a list of what I consider to be the best WWDC videos of all time. Every year Apple presents its Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC), giving us five days of keynotes, sessions, and labs that bring the world up to speed with the latest developments across all Apple platforms.īut with five days and multiple simultaneous tracks, it can be hard to know which sessions deserve special attention.
