📺 Last Week on Twitch

We stream tech tutorials, live coding, and talk to members of our community every Friday. Sometimes, we even stream twice a week! Be sure to follow us on Twitch to be notified of every stream!

As developers, we build many tools that make our everyday tasks easier. As a bonus, these tools can sometimes be reused by others who need to accomplish the same tasks. And if it all works out perfectly, you may even get others to do the task for you, using the tool you've built! 😉 Sweet!

Join Mike Lynn and Nic Raboy as they live code and build exactly what we described above: a fully functional command-line tool that automates the process of importing data into a MongoDB database! You'll learn about Swift, Swift Package Manager, creating executables, and about our brand new MongoDB Swift Driver.
