As soon as Swift was announced, I realised that it would be the next great thing and started reading and learning as much as I could. I write my own apps under the name TrozWare and blog (mainly about Swift) at http://troz.net I love puzzles, reading (mainly fantasy & sci-fi) and talking about tech and programming.
