There's no one way to give a conference talk, but is there a way to do two ways in the same talk? Join the incredible duo @joshdholtz @zhbrass in Paris!

🔸Is Objective-C Still Relevant in 2025? Let's Find Out!🧐

Watch: 🔗 https://t.co/tKEzBAO7OZ 👈🏻

Swift has dominated iOS development for nearly a decade, but Objective-C isn’t going anywhere just yet. While many new developers have never written a single line of Objective-C, understanding this powerful language remains a key skill for tackling legacy codebases, bridging frameworks, and mastering the full iOS development stack.

In this Swift Heroes 2025 talk, @zhbrass breaks down why Objective-C still matters and how it fits into modern iOS development:
- Why Objective-C is still used in enterprise and legacy projects
- Key differences between Swift and Objective-C syntax 🆚
- How to bridge Objective-C with Swift for seamless integration 🌉
- Unique features and advantages of Objective-C in 2025

📌 Watch the full talk and upgrade your iOS development skills!
🗓️ Swift Heroes 2025 - April 8-9, Turin & Online

@SwiftDev_UI @Sommer Articles from here have been VERY helpful https://t.co/N7XNCTIHdM

[Zach Brass @zhbrass]

Anyone have excellent examples of accessibility design docs for iOS apps?

[Zach Brass @zhbrass]

@SwiftDev_UI @Sommer She already sent me some 😃

@benjamintsmith7 Hey! Random question, is this your photo and would you be willing to sell it? DM if you’re interested. I’ve been looking for this CD for a long time

[Zach Brass @zhbrass]

@_chuckyc @arielmichaeli And in light mode no less!

[Zach Brass @zhbrass]

I’ve worked in this industry for over 12 years and I’ve seen this guy’s work. Trust me. He may be looking for a junior iOS role, but his abilities are way beyond that of a junior. I’d put my reputation on the line any day of the week (and twice on Sundays) to vouch for him.

[David Ruvinskiy @DavidRuvinskiy]

Hey all! I'm still on the job hunt for a junior iOS dev position. I started doing iOS in undergrad and have focused on CS education since graduating. Unfortunately, I was impacted by layoffs at my most recent teaching position and could really use a new opportunity.

[Zach Brass @zhbrass]

@art_garzajr Omg. This is the beginning of a romcom!

[Zach Brass @zhbrass]

Spotted in the wild!!

[Zach Brass @zhbrass]

Update: TWO IN ONE DAY!!!!

[Zach Brass @zhbrass]

@v_pradeilles That way Xcode wouldn’t hang if you accidentally clicked on a xib

[Zach Brass @zhbrass]

@v_pradeilles In many ways, it was kind better that way

[Zach Brass @zhbrass]

And if you are hiring a junior iOS engineer, DM me and I’ll put you in contact with a couple of fantastic candidates.

[Zach Brass @zhbrass]

You want loyalty to your company? Hire a junior dev and grow the crap out of them. Plus it gives senior devs more opportunities for leadership and they’ll grow too!
