This was presented at the Swift Usergroup Netherlands. Would you like to speak/present? Visit https://swift.amsterdam for more information.

One of the most fragmented but yet powerfull API’s in Cocoa got (partly) re-written for Swift 4 - and with more to come. Sidney talks about what changed, what do you need to know and how can you use it too.

4. Multiline Strings Remember this? let myString = "If i want to show newlines \nI need to do it like \nthis or even with \ttabs" // If i want to show newlines // I need to do it like // this or even with // tabs Never again.
5. Multiline Strings The future is here! (demo)
6. Collections Remember this? let stringCount = "Awesomeness".characters.count // 11 Never again.
7. Collections The future is here! (demo)
8. Substrings demo
