Last Thursday I got a password reset email on my iOS developer account, one that I didn’t request. Given that I didn’t request it, I filed it away for when I had time to call Apple and find out what was going on. Well yesterday I got an email from Apple indicating that someone had […]

Keeping your code new – a dilemma
I’ve written a post on this idea from the perspective of your users, should you upgrade your app to the latest level of an operating system. I’ve even talked about how you learn by keeping up with the latest releases of API’s and interfaces. But what about the down side? Traditionally large IT companies have […]
It’s all a matter of public record
I recently had the chance to review a locally developed app called Public Record. This application provides search capabilities for legal documents and court records in the state of North Carolina. There are multiple applications that provide this capability, but I cannot compare the functionality as I have not tried them. As a supporter of […]
iOS Storyboards, AutoLayout, and Constraints
I’ve been in the process of refactoring my app – Wasted Time in order to add native Facebook integration and a new ToDo feature. As part of this refactoring, I am changing from a simple UITabBarController to a UINavagationController based root control. This change will allow me to have the ToDoViewController be able to be […]

I’ve been struggling with inserting sprites between layers […]

Our hosts over at Two Toasters, a local App development company, had a nice downtown office fully supplied with Pizza and drinks. The room held probably 25 […]
Appcelerator’s Quarterly Survey Results show iOS dominant in the Enterprise
For all the talk about how Apple is not enterprise friendly, I was surprised to find the news that more than 50% of enterprise app developers want to target iOS in the quarterly survey that Appcelerator runs. This shift from Android to iOS continues to reflect, in my opinion, the challenges of targeting Android’s plethora […]
Cross platform vs. Performance
I’ve been working with a small team to build a cross platform game leveraging the Cocos2D gaming engine on iOS. I chose this platform for a few reasons: 1) There is a really good book explaining the basics of game programming and the libraries. 2) There seems to be a good number of other people […]
