Design Then Code: Building iOS Apps From Scratch

Design Then Code: Building iOS Apps From Scratch
Before taking a crack at any Design Then Code project tutorials you'll need some knowledge of Xcode, Objective-C, Cocoa and UIKit. My goal is for this guide to help bridge the gap between having no knowledge of iOS development and having enough to start tackling more interesting projects. Tools Apple provides a number of tools to enable developers to build Mac and iOS apps. Here's a quick overview of the tools Apple provides. Xcode Xcode is an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) used by Mac and iOS developers to build applications. Interface Builder Interface Builder is an application that lets you build your interfaces visually. In my particular development workflow, I prefer not to use Interface Builder, mostly because I work on custom interface components and those still take a lot of code to get exactly right. Frameworks And the most important piece of the puzzle: frameworks. These are just the main tools that Apple provides but there are many, many more to explore and use. @end

Advanced Memory Management Programming Guide: About Memory Management Application memory management is the process of allocating memory during your program’s runtime, using it, and freeing it when you are done with it. A well-written program uses as little memory as possible. In Objective-C, it can also be seen as a way of distributing ownership of limited memory resources among many pieces of data and code. Although memory management is typically considered at the level of an individual object, your goal is actually to manage object graphs. Objective-C provides two methods of application memory management. In the method described in this guide, referred to as “manual retain-release” or MRR, you explicitly manage memory by keeping track of objects you own. Good Practices Prevent Memory-Related Problems There are two main kinds of problem that result from incorrect memory management: Cocoa uses a straightforward naming convention to indicate when you own an object returned by a method. See Memory Management Policy. See Practical Memory Management.

Model–view–controller Model–view–controller (MVC) is a software pattern for implementing user interfaces. It divides a given software application into three interconnected parts, so as to separate internal representations of information from the ways that information is presented to or accepted from the user.[1][2] The central component, the model, consists of application data, business rules, logic and functions. A view can be any output representation of information, such as a chart or a diagram. Multiple views of the same information are possible, such as a bar chart for management and a tabular view for accountants. The third part, the controller, accepts input and converts it to commands for the model or view.[3] Component interactions[edit] A typical collaboration of the MVC components In addition to dividing the application into three kinds of components, the Model–view–controller (MVC) design defines the interactions between them.[4] Use in web applications[edit] History[edit] See also[edit]

PhluffyFotos/GettingStarted.md at master · WindowsAzure-Samples/PhluffyFotos A Checklist for Content Work In content strategy, there is no playbook of generic strategies you can pick from to assemble a plan for your client or project. Instead, our discipline rests on a series of core principles about what makes content effective—what makes it work, what makes it good. Content may need to have other qualities to work within a particular project, but this list is limited to qualities shared across all sorts of content. If this looks like theory, don’t be fooled. Good content is appropriate#section1 Publish content that is right for the user and for the business There’s really only one central principle of good content: it should be appropriate for your business, for your users, and for its context. Right for the user (and context)#section2 Let us meditate for a moment on James Bond. Content is appropriate for users when it helps them accomplish their goals. Fig. 1. It’s a sensible notion. Right for the business #section3 Good content is useful#section4 Good content is user-centered#section5

What is CGI and How To Use Your CGI-BIN CGI Tutorial and Perl Introduction for Beginners A lot of people have Web pages but most feel that CGI scripts are "over their head". Nonsense! If you know basic HTML and know how to use an FTP program like WS_FTP to transfer files, chances are you can be using a CGI script on your Web pages in about 15 minutes. With so many free CGI scripts available (including Bestdam Logger Lite) you are really short-changing yourself if you are not using the CGI capabilities offered by your ISP or host provider to use CGI scripts. * Note: Java is not a scripting language. Even though the script code for PHP, ColdFusion, and ASP is embedded in the HTML code, it's not visible at the browser (when using View/Source). 1. If the answer to both of these questions is "Yes", you're good to go. "Server-Side Includes" are just that, commands (aka "directives") to the Web server to include some information the server has in the displayed Web page. Back to your CGI situation.

Opera has greater levels of support for CSS3 (except background gradients) in their next version (10.50 Beta). Internet Explorer has also stated that they will have improved CSS3 support with version 9; however, only time will tell how true this is. Step 1: The HTML

iOS Core Image Tutorial And Example Page The Core Image framework was added to the iOS 5 developer SDK adding a multitude of image processing API’s previously only available on Mac OS X. Core Image provides pixel level image filters, and allows for many different filters to be placed upon an image at the same time. These include not only image filters for special effects such as bloom or motion blurring, but other image processing algorithms providing for features such as face detection. If you’ve created an iOS Core Image tutorial with a sample project that you would like listed on this page you can submit it here. You can find Apple’s official documentation for Core Image on the iOS platform here, that includes nice listing of available filters. Check out the iOS 5 tutorial page for tutorials on other topics within the iOS 5 SDK. I test out each Core Image example or tutorial to make sure that everything works.
