It looks like a great tool to create nice-looking Objective-C API documentation that matches Apple’s own style. Extensions include useful components such as scrollable menus, a slider control, a video player and much more.Īppledoc is an older project that made the rounds on Twitter this month. The Cocos2D community set up a repository of high-quality third party extensions for Cocos2D. NPReachability by Nick Paulson: a blocks-based reachability implementation. The guys at Gowalla published AFNetworking, a nice-looking lightweight networking library based on NSOperation and blocks. SBTableAlert by Simon Blommegård: a UIAlertView containing a UITableView, similar to what iOS uses in the Maps app when you search for a location and there are multiple matches. Jim Dovey published AQAppStateMachine, a simple-to-use application state machine, designed to assist the development of applications with some fairly intricate state requirements. Jason Morrissey’s JMTabView is a very stylish and good-looking tab view alternative. Unfortunately, the included demo app doesn’t really show off any rich text formatting features. The guys at enormego wrote EGOTextView, a rich text editor alternative for UITextView. It allows you to write your own tokenizer and parser with very little effort. I believe they’re right.ĭave DeLong wrote DDMathParser, an extensible parser for mathematical expressions.Īnother interesting parsing library is Tom Davie’s CoreParse. … Apple is now betting that multiple applications maintaining their own connections to disparate servers will end up performing poorly on mobile devices. The thing is this, and it’s an important thing - always bet on the technologies that scale.

Guy English takes a close look at Apple’s Push Notification technology, the system that enables much of iCloud, and the competitive advantage such a high-capacity, OS-level service potentially gives them: No matter whether your immediate goal is something similar or not, a messaging-based approach to component design in your app seems like a good idea. Kelly Sommers turned her Continuous Client concept I mentioned last month into an impressive cross-platform demo. Includes suggestions to improve your own networking code. Good explanation why TCP connections can suck so badly when used over a bad mobile link. It all depends on the situtation.ĭavid Singleton: Why mobile apps suck when you’re mobile. On the other hand, a framework like Cocos2D can save you tons of work if you’re a beginner. If you have an excellent grasp of the language and the technology you’re working with, all-encompassing libraries can sometimes hinder you more than they help. In My Fear of Middleware, Noel Llopis makes a great case against using frameworks like Cocos2D in game development. Mike Ash illustrates the similarities and differences between Objective-C blocks to C++0x lambdas. Matt Gallagher explains a weak point in Objective-C’s weak typing typing: methods with the same selector but different argument or return types can lead to the wrong method being selected at runtime. Apple seems totally committed to the language, and the switch to LLVM is a huge thing for the future improvement of the language. Good news for Cocoa developers.Īnother learning: Objective-C is very much alive and kicking. The cloud just works, to the extent that you shouldn’t even notice that it is there. You don’t need a web browser to get the impression that your data is always there for you, no matter where you are and which device you use.

Gone is the digital hub, the Mac demoted to just another device.Īpple is betting on a vision that is different from Google’s, a world where the data lives in the cloud but access to it is hidden behind native apps. The big WWDC news for developers: tons of new stuff in iOS 5 and, of course, iCloud, designed to become the next game changer. OS X Lion has lots of cool new features, though Mac developers have known about most of them for a while. WWDC is over and the session videos are out. Here is my summary of the past month in links: WWDC 2011
