Klothed iOS app simplifies shopping for men's clothes

Shopping for men's clothes can be tiresome, specially for men. Klothed is an app that wants to change the way men think about and shop for clothes, by re-inventing the way a man views his closet. It enables users to virtually discover, try on, plan and purchase curated designer looks from their phone or tablet.

Research shows that 30% of Millennials have taken a selfie while trying on an item in a dressing room and sent it to a friend to get their opinion, this trend (known as social styling) has been integrated into the Klothed experience. Klothed understands that many men want guidance and input, but often don’t like dealing with sales associates.

Apple's free Swift Playgrounds iPad app can empower future programmers

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

One of the announcements made at yesterday's WWDC keynote was the Swift Playgrounds iPad app. As Apple explains it, "Swift Playgrounds is a revolutionary new app for iPad that makes learning Swift interactive and fun. Solve puzzles to master the basics using Swift — a powerful programming language created by Apple and used by the pros to build many of today’s most popular apps."

Geared towards children but with enough content to delight users of all ages, the app gamifies programming and allows users to code on one part of the screen and run their program on the other, giving them instant and real-time access to their programs. Coming as a free download this fall, Swift Playgrounds looks like an empowering app and great place for anyone to get into the mindset of coding Swift for future success in the app economy.
