In this month's SwiftLee Giveaway, you can win a copy of Michael Flarup's The Mac App Icon Book.

I’m familiar with Publish for building websites in Swift, but it seems a bit outdated lately. It’s great to see Paul’s new open-sourced Ignite library as an up-to-date alternative!

I know best what it means to have a technical blog. Similar to this article, I also wrote Blog about Swift: Tips and ideas to start your own. Both articles are great starting points if you’re thinking about starting a blog.

I’ve been writing a backend in Swift lately and noticed the Sendable Warnings mentioned in this article. Even if you’re unfamiliar with Fluent, this article is worth reading as it shines a light on Property Wrapper’s current limitation with Sendable warnings.

The try keyword supports using ? and !, which have different outcomes when an error is thrown. If you’re new to Swift, this is a must-read.

I’ve never gone far enough to consider SwiftUI previews, assets, and production binaries, but if app size is essential to you, this article is a valuable read.

This week's question comes from Jai:

Many of you have contacted me via LinkedIn or mail with similar questions. Having like-minded people around you is a great way to stay motivated and grow.

While there are several forums and Slacks, there’s nothing better than finding a local community with meetups. I’ve been learning a lot at local CocoaHeadsNL meetups and met great fellow engineers.

If local meetups are not around, you could consider visiting one of many conferences. You can connect and share personal details to continue the conversation later.

In my opinion, it’s best to find a handful of engineers with whom you can connect regularly. This way, you can get familiar with each other and better support each other’s goals and progression.
