Where to go, what to read, with whom to communicate on professional topics: a roadmap for an iOS developer

In the previous article, I casually touched on the theme of the development of a mobile developer. When all your team is you, this is really a hot topic. There is no one to help with advice, to share an interesting article or to advise a suitable video course. About a year ago, I decided to deal with this problem and began to lead two Telegram channels, in which I publish a selection of the most relevant materials on iOS and Android development every day. During this time, I have accumulated a lot of excellent resources, chat rooms, newsletters and events that should be shared with the community. Let's start with iOS development.



In general: if you want to receive the latest news about iOS, subscribe to iOS Good Reads . Filling telegram channel: architecture, processes, tools, news, events, machine learning, holivary, security. And all this is about our favorite axis. No more than three materials per day, always in your pocket. And now - about the sources that I study to fill it.

Developments


CocoaHeads Russia
Monthly meetings on iOS development. Mostly they take place in Moscow, sometimes they capture St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg and other cities. Themes are completely different - from the unobvious possibilities of Swift, ending with managerial stories. The level of reports is also very different, but in general, the quality delivers.
Organizers: Alexander Zimin, Stanislav Zhukovsky.
Periodicity: in Moscow on a monthly basis, in other cities irregularly.

Avito.iOS
Themed meetings from Avito. The last was held in June, there were reports about the architecture, testing, workflows.
Organizers: Avito.
Frequency: 2-3 times a year.

Rambler.iOS
Traditionally, one of the best meetings in Moscow, where the vast majority of reports are prepared by the staff of Rambler & Co. A lot of practice, not enough water.
Organizers: Rambler & Co.
Frequency: 2-3 times a year.

Mobius
A series of St. Petersburg conferences on mobile development. In the autumn of this year they decided to move to Moscow. If you are already saving money from lunch to go somewhere, Mobius in November is a great choice. The quality of reports is usually high, the level of complexity is above average.
Organizers: JUG.ru.
Frequency: 2 times a year.

MBLTdev
Another autumn conference will be held for the fourth time. The selection of speakers is not as serious as on Mobius, but there are always some excellent reports that justify the price of a ticket. By the way, it is usually small compared to other similar events.
Organizers: E-Legion.
Periodicity: once a year.

AppsConf
This, in fact, is not a separate conference, but one of the RIT sections. This year I was not on it, but the feedback from visitors is quite good - there were a lot of cool reports that hadn't been seen anywhere else before.
Organizer: Oleg Bunin.
Periodicity: once a year.

Twitter accounts


There are a lot of good accounts, there is not enough words to write about each. Try to subscribe to the fan, and then look at your interests.


These are all sources that I wanted to talk about today. I hope you learned something useful for yourself this Friday. If readers get interested, I’ll make the same roadmap for sources about Android development. I remind you that announcements of thematic speeches about iOS by Avito employees, events and contests are also published in the AvitoTech telegram channel , on the same twitter and in the group on Facebook .
