In this post we’ll cover solving a system of linear equations using Swift and Accelerate. It get’s a little bit hairy, but it’s not so bad once you get the hang of it.

Sandi Metz on OO Best Practices
I found a post about a talk by Sandi Metz that I liked a lot, and I thought I’d post here for my personal reference. The long and short of it is that good design saves you more time and face eggs than just banging something out and hoping for the best.
Matrix Inversion Using Swift and Accelerate
I found out how to invert a matrix on SO, but I didn’t understand the solution, so I thought I’d talk more about it here. First of all, there isn’t a one-off inverse function in the Accelerate framework. You need to calculate the LU facotrization first using dgetrf_(), and then plug that data into dgetri_() to calculate the inverse.

Using NSOutlineView and NSTreeController to Create a Tree
In this post I’ll walk through setting up a hierarchical view with expanding nodes using NSOutlineView and NSTreeController. This is the sort of thing you’d want if you had to describe a file system. In this example I’ll be using Xcode 7 and Swift 2.
