This has been on the burner for a while. With all of the iPhone OS 4 / iPad / iSlate hoopla, I figured I better get it out the door before it all becomes a moot point.
One of the most perplexing omissions in the current SDK has been the CalendarStore API. It seemingly goes hand-in-hand [...]

Are you using this?
You should be.
FTUtils contains several classes that allow you to easily add semi-complex animations to your app, for “free”.
It’s a nice abstraction of Core Animation (which is a great abstraction of OpenGL + Quartz in it’s own right)
Check out the demo app to see what you can do.

Originally suggested in this Stackoverflow question.
Quick tip.
Sometimes, instead of traditional nib loading, you may want to use the following method:
[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@”MyViewController” owner:self options:options];
For instance, if you want to provide a runtime replacement for proxy object in your nib (see UINibExternalObjects).
If you do this and you also need to perform setup after the nib loads, you’ll come across an unexpected [...]
We now have in app purchases for free apps (read: trial ware).
It’s not quite perfect, as I am sure most developers would like to allow full functionality to users for a timed duration. (Maybe this will be allowed?)
From a consumer side, I hope this isn’t abused to much.
I have a strong feeling that [...]
I am new to git and shamefully incompetent with the Terminal. However, I am working on it.
One of the tools I came across since I began using git is DTerm. It is essentially a free floating terminal that you bring up with a keystroke.
The killer feature (for me) is once you invoke it with [...]
This is just something I picked up over the weekend to interface with Terminal.app via AppleScript:
NSString *s = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"tell application \"Terminal\" to do script \"cd %@\"", folderPath];
NSAppleScript *as = [[NSAppleScript alloc] initWithSource: s];
[as executeAndReturnError:nil];
The intent is pretty easy to pick up (Also, please feel free to handle the error). The question and answer can [...]
The runtime has been a bit of a mystery to me.
To be sure, I have yet to explore some of the more dynamic aspects of Objective-C/Cocoa in my applications.
In fact, as many know, you can move along quite happily though your Cocoa/iPhone programming without directly daling with it. Others might not realize what’s “under [...]
