‘Animator’ is a Swift tool that simplifies creating complex UIView animations in iOS apps, using chainable animation blocks for a clean, readable syntax. It enhances the animation capabilities of UIKit by allowing sequential execution of animation steps with customizable parameters like duration, delay, and animation options, including spring damping and initial velocity. This tool aims to make code for complex animations more manageable and understandable, with an emphasis on continuity and ease of use.
DispatchGroup in Swift offers a simple solution for synchronizing multiple unrelated asynchronous operations. It allows tracking the completion of various tasks, even on different queues, without complex setups. This approach avoids messy and non-scalable code, making it ideal for handling multiple asynchronous tasks efficiently.

For the past few days there have been numerous reports that the next iPhone would feature the newly developed Li-Fi, which is the transfer of data using visible spectrum of light instead of radio waves, which the Wi-Fi use. Li-Fi boasts a bandwidth 10,000 times that of Wi-Fi. The radio spectrum being extremely crowded, Li-Fi is well in need. Li-Fi works by modulating the intensity of light emitted by light sources such as LED lamps in a very indiscrenable way to humans to get the data across....
