IPhone Development

2009-07-29T16:35:00.000-07:00

So...I went out and bought a macbook pro just to learn iPhone programming. Mind you...still like PC Guy better than MAC guy. Installed a bevy of software tools required for development listed here. Over the next weeks/months will be writing a log of my development experiences on the blog so keep reading

Figured the best way to dive into it was the good old "Hello World Tutorial".
The one thing I noticed right away was that Objective C is not the least bit like languages I am familiar with C# and Java and I have not done C since school.

Got through the tutorial(see image) but realized that I damn well need to know more about objective. The search for good objective C tutorials begins!

Book List: Pricing Money by J.D.A Wiseman.

2008-10-24T08:33:00.000-07:00

Vishy swears by this book. Plus with a name like Wiseman...cant go wrong.

Its pretty clear now

Passing by reference or passing using the ref keyword. This makes it pretty clear.

Unit Testing with Team System Test and Asyncronous calls

2008-04-28T10:21:00.000-07:00

I figured Microsoft would have taken care of this in their Test Framework. This is the best solution I have found for running Unit Tests against Async calls. Nice blog as well.

Web Site Performance Optimization Rules

2007-11-15T10:22:00.000-08:00

This is a really good article. Some of the pointers make you want to slap your forehead and go "duh.." but some are more subtle like 'ETags'.

I especially like the YUI Compressor from Yahoo. Need to play with it some more.
http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/compressor/.

Event the packer http://dean.edwards.name/packer/ can reduce JS file size by 30% or so. bandwidth savings and more speed all round

Uncompressed
function foo(variable1)
{
var variable2 = variable1 +"..";
}

Compressed
function foo(variable1){ var variable2 = variable1 +"..";}

some of them event will rename variable1 to _v1 or something like that...even more savings and speed.

Web Client Software Factory

2007-06-28T13:47:00.000-07:00

Just started playing with Web Client Software Factory(http://www.codeplex.com/websf) and found this blog very helpful.

Very good resource for Web Client Software Factory. Excellent work by David.

Here is also a good article about the Model View Presenter at http://davidhayden.com/blog/dave/archive/2007/01/16/WebClientSoftwareFactoryIntro.aspx

Do we really need to move navigation out from the UI to a presentation layer. If the anwser is yet then the assumption is that the navigation from Web to UI will be the same. Will talk more about this as I play around with it.

Object Oriented Javascript

2007-05-16T07:22:00.000-07:00

I have been doing object oriented javascript for a while now. Here is a good explanation from ...Microsoft. For a change MS is talking about Javascript not the MS version JScript. This is a comprehensive article and a must read for anyone interested in doing web 2.0 type (yeah....I know Web 2.0 is more of a non programmer term) programming.
