r - Swift2 tuts for ObjC + Ruby programmer

"The official documentation has a book that covers a lot of the questions
that come up when working with Cocoa from Swift - Using Swift with Cocoa
and Objective-C.

Also, check out the language reference with an open playground."

packtpub.com - Integrating with Objective-C

"In this article written by Kyle Begeman author of the book Swift 2 Cookbook,
we will cover the following recipes:

Porting your code from one language to another
Replacing the user interface classes
Upgrading the app delegate

In the previous recipe we learned how to add a new code into an existing
Objective-C project, however you shouldn't only add new code but also, as
far as possible, you should migrate your old code to the new Swift language."

"Control your external monitor brightness, contrast or volume directly from a
menulet or with keyboard native keys."

r - I made an app that automatically unmounts external disks when your
Mac starts sleeping and mounts them again after it wakes up.

"I made Ejectify that automatically unmounts my Time Machine disk, and other
external volumes, when my Mac starts sleeping, and mount them again after it
wakes up. Problem solved!

PS. Source code is available on GitHub."

Scanning documents with Vision and VisionKit on iOS 13

In iOS 13, Apple's Vision framework also adds support for OCR (Optical
Character Recognition), which allows you to detect and recognize text on
scanned documents!

git - WeScan framework

"Objective-C:

Create a dummy swift class in your project. When Xcode asks if you'd like to
create a bridging header, press 'Create Bridging Header'
In the new header, add the Objective-C class (#import myClass.h) where
you want to use WeScan
In your class, import the header (import <yourProjectName.swift.h>)
Drag and drop the WeScan folder to add it to your project
In your class, add @Class ImageScannerController;"

Tesseract on git: Pocket-OCR

"This project is a demonstration of implementing the Tesseract OCR engine on
the iPhone platform. It works best with the iPhone 3GS and it's autofocus lens.
External lenses for older iPhones may be necessary for optimal image capture."

git - Tesseract OCR iOS

"Use Tesseract OCR in iOS 9.0+ projects written in either Objective-C or
Swift. Easy and fast."[/url][/b]

Michael Tsai - Swift at 10

"My high-level take is that I generally like programming in Swift. I'm rewriting
all my apps in it. But I'm not sure it was the right thing to build. It's been such
an immense effort both within Apple and for the community. This has been a
distraction from apps, frameworks, architecture, and documentation. So much
mindshare has been taken up by the language itself, which should be just a tool
for building the things that actually matter for our customers. It's come a long
way, but the 'end' is not yet in sight, as, even 10 years in, essential pieces are
still being designed."
