Some impressions from my last sketchnoting workshops at @swiftleeds.co.uk 🙌 it’s the best feeling when a planned icebreaker exercise results in laughter and more engagement!

A recording of my talk Best Practices in SDK Development" has been published by the amazing @swiftleeds.co.uk team. I haven't watched it due to severe cringe-related issues, but if you're interested in building SDKs, you may find it interesting.

Thank you Swift Leeds team!

The Sketch Note workshop that @felibe444.bsky.social put on at @swiftleeds.co.uk was GREAT.

And I'm not just saying that because I won the Lego set! 😂

I had a great time at @swiftleeds.co.uk, where I got to meet so many amazing people! Like we say in Sweden - "Ingen nämnd, ingen glömd" (No one mentioned, no one forgotten). I enjoyed giving my talk "Best Practices in SDK Development", and answer some questions here:

One of the things I love about @swiftleeds.co.uk: the attention to detail. This is one of the nicest conference badges I've ever gotten.

Had the best time at @swiftleeds.co.uk this week! I gave two #sketchnoting workshops and was blown away by participants’ enthusiasm. Seeing people try sketchnoting during talks made me so proud 🥹

I was about 5 trillion miles outside of my comfort zone this week with my first conference talk (in a different country no less).

Adam and his team at @swiftleeds.co.uk were so supportive.

I definitely want to go back. What a wonderful experience this conference is.

In my @swiftleeds.co.uk talk about developing my weather app I've somehow avoided the Fahrenheit vs Celsius battle but you best believe that I'm bringing up month/day/year vs day/month/year. 👊💥⏰👊
