Playgrounds With Designers: Easy Mode • Hand off via email, AirDrop, or synced folder • Use a single, ginormous playground file** • Create basic elements but don't include anything complicated • Copy and paste files into the sources folder ** May be REAL slow

Slide 88

Slide 88 text

Playgrounds With Designers: Advanced Mode • Automatically generate every time there's a build of the application • Copy source files of framework into Sources folder in playground using a script • Use a multi-page playground to separate things • Let designers download from a consistent place

Slide 89

Slide 89 text

Playgrounds With Designers: Expert Mode • #SquadGoals • Automatically generate only when changes have taken place in the UI framework • Create a Playground Book that allows designers to muck about with stuff on their iPad • Automatically upload so the designers can get it on their iPad (iCloud? Dropbox?)
