Taking Control of Errors in Swift: CodeMash

Swift error handling can be tricky. Ever encounter a comment like "this should never happen?" What happens when the unexpected occurs? This session dives deep into Swift's robust error-handling mechanisms. Learn how to effectively utilize throw for propagating errors and leverage Result types for managing errors in asynchronous Swift code.

Jeff Kelley explores the complete picture of error handling in Swift, introducing innovative techniques for expressing and managing potential issues. Discover how to achieve 100% test coverage, even for scenarios considered impossible at the code level.

Gain practical knowledge and take control of errors in your Swift applications. This session will equip you with the skills to build more resilient and reliable Swift code.
