<p><strong>David Sparks</strong> tells us why his <a href="https://learn.macsparky.com/p/shortcuts13"><strong>Shortcuts Field Guide, iOS13 Edition</strong></a> had to be completely re-written because of some of the new and powerful options Apple provided when iOS 13 hit the streets. David talks about some of the new capabilities including, new ability to work with NFC stickers, HomeKit integration, developer actions, and more. Shortcuts is like programming and not like programming. David tells you why you shouldn’t be intimidated, gives some examples of things you can accomplish with Shortcuts, and even offers a special discount code to save you some money.</p>
