Paris Buttfield-Addison is the co-founder of independent game development studio Secret Lab. He’s been programming for Apple platforms since 2001, and still thinks Objective-C is a pretty neat idea. At Secret Lab, he serves as producer and game designer, and helps to maintain the popular open source interactive dialogue system, Yarn Spinner (https://yarnspinner.dev/). Secret Lab is currently working on Night in the Woods, the BAFTA- and IGF-winning adventure game that’s powered by Yarn Spinner. Paris has written nearly 30 technical books on Swift, Objective-C, machine learning, mobile apps, game development, and rocket science for O’Reilly Media (most recently releasing ‘Head First Swift’, ‘Practical AI with Swift’, and ‘Practical ML with Simulations’), and has a PhD in why people’s desks are messy. He loves AI, Swift, video games, photography and dogs.
