The final week continues to be rather turbulent for iOS designers with Lodsys beginning to boost some serious patent questions and threatening to directly pursue application designers.
With Apple s Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) only two days away, here's our weekly listing of iOS development reading through recommendations.
As we skipped anything, don't hesitate to inform us within the comments!
- Florian Mueller includes a great write down concerning the possible implications from the latest Lodsys activities. This is a little extended but when you re an expert in the overall game, I recommend reading through it entirely. He's also written Is Apple winning the patent game searching more broadly at Apple s various patent related battlefields.
- Have you migrate to Xcode 4 lately and wondered about all of the new keyboard cutting corners Jesse Collis has published an excellent talk about them. As well as Stewart Gleadow he went an exhibition in the Melbourne Cocoaheads meeting. Find his 35mm slides and video here.
- I do not what you think, but despite many years of Cacao and iOS programming, I sometimes seem like I must search much deeper in to the Objective-C run-time, attempting to understand its inner workings better still. Throughout my many years of monitoring various iOS towns, I discovered the most faq's hint in a general lack of knowledge how some aspects work behind the scene. Included in his Friday Q&A the astonishing Mike Ash has dissected NSZombies. This is an amazing read and something, no professional iOS developer should miss.
- Keith Harrison checks coping with failure in Objective-C initializers. An excellent refresher including an indication in a possible memory leak all of us may have incorporated within our current code.
- Ever needed to cope with images and color spaces within your iOS applications Works out, transforming images from RGB to CYMK is nearly simpler related to Cacao, compared to Illustrator. Find out about it at Ole Bergmann s blog and discover the astonishingly short code snippet.
- A bit older but nonetheless worth book-marking: John Muchow s brief article about an easy method to scribe Web addresses. Apple s method included in NSString doesn t handle percent escapes for those figures. Core Foundation to save the day.
Not too development related, but good just in case your buddies request to have an Android versus iOS discussion, Lifehacker provides you with 10 ways iOS outdoes Android.
Finally, should you re on Facebook and searching for a very active community, browse the iOS Designers group. I must admit, I assisted create it, but please do not take this like a shameless plug. The presently 245 people are mainly professionals and incredibly responsive.
Searching forward to another week in iOS development and aspire to help you all at WWDC 2011.
