Terrifically useful if you’re testing in the iOS Simulator.
A terrific piece by Matt Gemmell. It pretty much sums up my own views on native-vs-web shenanigans.
Congratulations to Mike Rundle on releasing Design Then Code. If you’re a designer looking to crack out Xcode and build something, or a coder looking to fire up Photoshop, this $40 set of tutorials will be just the thing.
If you’re looking for a handy iOS recipes book for your iPad and iPhone apps, this beta book (written by Matt Drance and Paul Warren) looks to be the ticket. I’ve picked up the eBook.
Just in time for tomorrow’s press conference, the update is out to solely address the “erroneous” signal display issue. There’s a 2.28GB SDK update available for developers too, making that the second SDK release in two days. My ISP is going to hate me.
This looks super-handy: a drop-in web service sharing for iOS apps (think posting items to Twitter, Facebook, Delicious etc). It’s open source on GitHub, and entirely customisable. Whilst it’s intended to be used in its entirety, if you’re wanting to (say) implement Twitter sharing in your own iPhone app with xAuth login you can still use ShareKit to implement the service on its own.
Tim Van Damme posts an excellent followup to his first article on designing for that 326ppi screen. If you’re a designer or developer, with access to the iPhone Developer Portal, this link is the one you’ll want to check before June 24th.
Stanford University have just put their iPhone Application Development Course (Winter 2010 edition) on iTunes U. It’s free!
Last summer, I flew to the States for Big Nerd Ranch’s Cocoa Bootcamp. It’s not cheap, but it’s taught by Aaron Hillegass: the guy who wrote the book on Cocoa - and I learnt an incredible amount. Talking of books, I read a fair amount of those too - and played with a lot of sample code, hacking away at pet projects to see how things work.
