Happy Weekend fellow Clean Swifters. I was on vacation last week in Sea Isle City, New Jersey. You might know it as "the Jersey shore." The downtime at the beach felt great and now I'm back at it this week, recharged and refreshed. Here's what I'll be catching up on this coming weekend.

I’d love to hear from you, what topics are you interested in hearing about on cleanswifter.com? Just reply to this email and let me know.
Happy cleaning,
Andy

Sometimes I fear time complexity analysis is a lost art, or at least one constrained to computer scientists. It was nice to see it put into use with some real world analysis with Swift.
