It’s been nearly a decade since the introduction of Swift at WWDC 2014, and there’s no longer a question of which language new iOS developers should learn first. But Objective-C still remains a valuable skill, whether it’s for diving into legacy codebases, modernising a project to Swift, or being able to decipher an older answer on Stack Overflow that’s still the canonical way of solving a problem. In this talk, we’ll introduce Objective-C to the increasing number of iOS developers who have only ever touched Swift, and talk about some of the (remaining) unique advantages to using Objective-C.
