Topic: WWDC FHIR presentation

As part of this week's WWDC (Apple developer conference), @Pascal Pfiffner today did a very nice presentation about using FHIR from Swift (https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2020/10669/). The great news is that there is now an Apple-maintained Swift library for FHIR, which provides Swift data models for FHIR resources, elements, and data types. This will be very helpful for BloodNumbers. Thank you Pascal!

Tell me more about Swift please? Never heard of it
Pascal Pfiffner (Jun 26 2020 at 17:29):
Man John, you beat me to it!! I _just_ posted to #tooling :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
Pascal Pfiffner (Jun 26 2020 at 17:30):
Please let us know how it works for you, as you can see it's version 0.1.0 and we wanna go places with it.

@Dave deBronkart , Swift is a new-ish programming language Apple introduced a few years ago. It's what most programmers now use to write iOS and Mac apps these days, and you can also use it in certain server environments. http://swift.org

I will be watching your commits with great interest Pascal :-) @Dave deBronkart , Swift is the programming language used to create apps for Apple platforms.

Oh - no wonder it hadn't crossed my path. :-) (Should it??)
Pascal Pfiffner (Jun 26 2020 at 17:41):
Ask John whether it should! :slight_smile:

Dave, I love programming in Swift. If you're interested in a fun and gentle introduction to programming in Swift, a great way to do so is via Apple's Swift Playgrounds app. You can run it on macOS or on an iPad.
