Hello, and welcome to issue #32!
How are you doing? I hope everything is going well wherever you are. Things seem to have been settling down around here, so I’ve got more time to write. I completed my guide on macOS network programming in Swift. It covers three main frameworks:
- BSD Sockets
- Apple’s Network.framework
- SwiftNIO
With that, you should be able to build a wide range of network applications in macOS. As always, my guides are “pay what you want”. Including $0.00, so they are free, but if you find them useful and want to support me, you can buy them. Networks is a topic I always found fascinating, it is at the core of the Internet. But network programming also touches other areas like security, system administration, software engineering, and telecommunications. So it is a broad topic, but super fun to explore. Have a look at the guide and build some network applications, I bet you’ll have fun.

Hello, and welcome to issue #31!
I’m still amazed by how the Internet has become such a fundamental part of society. I wonder what the world will look like 100 years from now. And all of this runs on protocols created decades ago. It’s truly fascinating.
As you can tell, many of the posts I write are related to networks, and this week is no exception. I believe that we all have some responsibility to try to make the world a better place, and we, as technology enthusiasts, can make it better by building the infrastructure for future communication. So maybe I can give back by teaching what I’ve learned about networks. Hopefully, all of us can be part of building a better future.

This week was fun. It was the first time I got an award for one of my posts on Reddit. It’s always fun to receive messages from people that find my posts useful.
You can see the post with the little badges on top :) here:

I usually share my posts on Reddit. I find it less cluttered with random posts (unless you subscribe to random subreddits). I don’t use Twitter much, but I think I’ll start using it as Seth Godin uses Twitter, mostly a feed for the blog. I want to share more content but spending time on Twitter takes time from researching and writing. So I’ll probably won’t pay much attention to it. Anyways, let me know if you have any thoughts on using Twitter.
