I gave a talk touching upon this subject a couple of months ago and was pretty happy with the reaction to it. Afterwards I received feedback that people were interested in a live demo, which is a tricky thing to show in a satisfying way in a small amount of time. 🕰️

If you're learning about the latest changes to concurrency in Swift 6.2 as part of your WWDC review, why not take the time to refresh the basics via these set of lessons.

I'm proud to see these out in the wild. Check them out, and hope you enjoy! ☺️

They cover the basics from using Tasks for unstructured concurrency, building up to using TaskGroups, async await, and the concept of Actors. 🎭

Finally, complete your knowledge by learning how to leverage AsyncStreams and AsyncSequences for your own needs. 🔴 ➡️ 🔵 ➡️ 🟢

Concurrent programming is a technique to allow apps perform multiple actions at once. All while making it appear seamless to the user!📱

To help teach this concept, I have a new set of lessons and videos available @kodeco.com. 🙌

Two days to go until I'll be at Vonage talking about running Small Language Models in your apps as part of Londroid! 📱

To prep I updated my Simon Says repo to use Google DeepMind's new Gemma 3 models.

Hope you find it useful! 🙏

Playing Simon Says with Gemma-2b and MediaPipe

A couple of weeks ago I attended Google’s Gemma Developer Day. A day dedicated to Google presenting the capabilities, portability and openness of their newest LLM models called Gemma.

It's just over a year since attending Google's Gemma Developer Day. I recall learning Gemma was designed as an Open Source model and envisioned to work with developers and researchers on their preferred tech. 🤝 💻

Now with Gemma 3 available I'm thinking of revisiting it. 🤖📱
