If you have done any iPhone development, you are already intimately familiar with table views. They are an integral part of UIKit. They are highly flexible and customizable. However, making table views work smoothly with anything but a small, simple, static data set can be trying, to say the least. Many Cocoa developers have come [...]
If you want to run Clang from a GUI you can using the tool at this site: http://www.karppinen.fi/analysistool/ Not that the scan-build CLI is that intimidating, but if you have any problems getting reports (I just had an issue with a static library), it may help
Getting started in Cocoa can be hard. Just learning the frameworks is a challenge. Once you get to that point, most or your journey still lies ahead.

After Scott Stevenson put out this question on Twitter and his subsequent blog post, it got me thinking. When I really started digging into Cocoa, I remember staring at UIViewController and UITableViewControler for hours, maybe days. Figuring out what all of those methods did seemed impossible.

You need to find information fast and effectively. When you have a question, it is easy to type it into a search engine and find an answer. Sometimes, though, you don’t know [...]
I’m currently involved in a project where I need to load some photos from the web and I need a UITableview with some thumbnails and with Photo.app navigation. Enter Three20. Three20 is a framework written by Joe Hewitt that abstracts much of the functionality of UITableViews, UITableViewCells, and networking away from the programmer. The way the components [...]
If you have any Cocoa touch or Objective-C questions, don’t just limit yourself to Apple’s Dev Forums. There is a thriving community of Cocoa developers on Stack Overflow at your disposal. You will find a variety of questions from novice to advanced. Stack Overflow has a policy of “no stupid questions”. Which means you won’t get [...]
As indy developers, we need to track our finances. Most of us can’t afford to staff an accounting department, so we look for software to fill the gap. We need to track cash from sales of iPhone apps and/or iPhone contracting. I assume most of those reading my blog need both. (Side note: if you’re [...]
