讀後心得

Jiang Hongye is a first-year student in the Department of Computer Science at Chung Yuan Christian University. Last year, he won the Apple Swift Student Challenge award, and this year he was awarded again for his new work, the SwiftHub App. This app aims to provide learning resources and an exchange platform for Swift enthusiasts. His inspiration came from conversations with university students, and he is dedicated to supporting Chinese communication and promoting community sharing. Jiang Hongye is also currently working as an iOS software engineer, using AI tools to efficiently complete projects, and he is developing another app called V-Cook, a recipe generation app. He looks forward to participating in this year's WWDC developer conference and encourages aspiring students to boldly express their creativity in the competition.

Currently a first-year student in the Department of Computer Engineering at Chung Yuan Christian University, 江竑燁 won a grand prize in the Apple Swift Student Challenge last year and was favored by the judges again this year. His new creation, the SwiftHub App, provides development resources and learning opportunities for the Swift programming language. This year, he also started working as an iOS software engineer, and he enjoys balancing academics and work.

Apple recently announced the winners of the 2025 Swift Student Challenge, with a total of 350 winners worldwide, of which only 3 are from Taiwan. Additionally, 50 exceptional winners will be invited to Apple’s headquarters for a 3-day event. 江竑燁 participated in the challenge for the first time in early 2023; although his work was not selected, he won an award last year with the MyGoal App, which helps users manage to-do lists and track completion progress. This year, he won an award again with the SwiftHub App, showcasing his creative talent.

The inspiration for 江竑燁's SwiftHub came from discussions he heard during the Today at Apple event, aiming to create a platform for people to share ideas, find partners, and learn about development resources. He stated that the SwiftHub App serves as a communication center for Swift enthusiasts, including event information, experience sharing, contact information for Swift community members around the world, and guidelines for starting a community, specifically designed for students in Taiwan. Moreover, to make programming more accessible for everyone, SwiftHub supports communication in Chinese, and after about 8 months of conceptualization, it was quickly completed this February.

Compared to his previous work, which took 2 to 3 months, the development of SwiftHub only required 2 to 3 weeks, largely thanks to the assistance of artificial intelligence development tools that effectively reduced repetitive coding, allowing 江竑燁 to focus more on functional design and interface adjustments. During his internship last summer, he performed exceptionally well and was retained by the company as an iOS software engineer. He now lives a life of attending classes during the day and working at night, expressing that the busy days make him feel fulfilled.

In addition to his award-winning work, 江竑燁 is also developing another app called "V-Cook," which allows users to generate recipes through images or text and adjust ingredients based on serving sizes, providing substitute suggestions and creating shopping lists. This app is currently in the beta testing phase and is planned for design optimization.

Regarding the upcoming Apple WWDC developer conference, he looks forward to stronger AI features being integrated into the programming tool Xcode and keeps an eye on the interface redesign of the iOS 19 system. As a loyal Apple fan, he has applied to participate in this year's WWDC in-person event, hoping to meet more developers and possibly have the chance to meet Apple’s CEO.

江竑燁 connects creativity with technology and life. For students looking to participate in the Apple Swift Student Challenge, his advice is, "Don’t be afraid of limited time; good ideas can start at any moment."
