This week I heard some chatter in certain iOS groups that I belong to about whether testing your iOS, macOS, watchOS, or tvOS applications provided any immediate value in the development life cycle.  As opposed to developing features without testing and getting them to market right away and then iterating upon them in a highly agile methodology.

Today I was analyzing a potential bottleneck in some computation I was doing with Swift and thought I would try a basic linked list data structure to store data instead of an array.  It soon dawned on me that I have never created a linked list in Swift before and thought this might be a good opportunity for a Swift Playground to test out my idea.

Last week I started building an iOS application in Swift 3.0 and Xcode 8 and was able to get a good portion of the application completed.  Towards the end of last week I became aware of the need to integrate a Unity / Vuforia exported project into my existing iOS Swift project to enable an augmented reality feature in the iOS application I was working on.

Yesterday I was catching up on some of the recent proposals on the Swift Evolution Github page and seen a very interesting proposal that I thought I would discuss in brief detail.

The other day on Twitter I seen mention of the Taylor Series and it made me think back to calculus and how much I enjoyed the Taylor and Maclaurin series because learning about them was my first exposure into series and sequence approximations.
