This fall, it's School of Rock for Swifties.
Three days of fun learning how to make your personal indie projects move better with AI, take your iOS dev career to where you want it to go, and party till daybreak with the friends you only get to see at conference season.
Party like its a rock reunion, learn like it's school of rock
Yo, I'm Adrian Eves, bad banjo player, indie iOS dev for enough years to make me feel old, and un-legendary lover of Rock. I wanted to nerd out, learn, and build with other indie devs after WWDC and didn't have a place to do it between now and the next conference. So I decided to start Swiftsonic. This is our first year and I couldn't be more excited to learn from the best and meet all of you (and meet you again!). Let's get rockin'.
