Seven Deadly Sins of Modern Objective-C
I’ve had this post cooking for a long time, and I think it’s ready to unveil. If you code Objective-C, this is going to offend you and that’s good. If you aren’t offended, then you don’t care, and that’s bad. This list isn’t about stylistic things like which line new braces go on (new ones, duh). This list is about potential problems with the code you’re writing on an objective scale. So let’s get
Twitter Cuts IFTTT's Balls Off
I just got an interesting form email from the CEO of IFTTT, which read, in part, as follows. In recent weeks, Twitter announced policy changes* that will affect how applications and users like yourself can interact with Twitter's data. As a result of these changes, on September 27th we will be removing all Twitter Triggers, disabling your ability to push tweets to places like email, Evernote and F
Why Objective-C is Hard » Ash Furrow
As an active member of "The Internet" and vocal Objective-C coder, I get a lot of questions surrounding the language. They're often framed around thinking about learning the language or trying to write an app, but they also usually involve a phrase like "Objective-C looks really hard" or "what are all those minus signs about?" Both of these are pretty good questions, and I'd like to address why so
Ash Furrow » How to Design iOS Apps
When designing iOS applications, there are two routes you can take: you can either strictly adhere to Apple's look-and-feel, or go out and do your own thing. In this post, I'm going to discuss each option, their pros and cons, and why you should adhere to either one or the other. App developers, I feel, tend to one of two extremes: a cookie-cutter Apple-y app or a Frankenstein mess of disjoint ide

My friend contacted me on twitter and asked for advice on different sources on how to learn iOS apps. Since this paragraph will already exceed 140 characters, I'm posting here, instead. (Obviously, reading this blog regularly is a great way to pick up some iOS development tricks) To get started, some people buy a book or find some good online tutorials. I tried both approaches, and the online tuto
Ash Furrow » Blog Archive » Overview of Windows 8 Metro App Development
My employer, the fabulous 500px, was invited by Microsoft to attend a three-day workshop on writing Metro-style apps for Windows 8. Since this is a new mobile development field, and mobile is kind of my thing, I jumped at the opportunity to get it straight from the horse's mouth. Metro Windows 8 is still a Developer Preview. Practically, this means "pre-beta." It's very rough around the edges. Thi
Ash Furrow » Blog Archive » The OAuth Chronicles: I am not Stupid
I write iOS apps. Which is to say, I write native apps that run on, you know, actual hardware. iOS also implies Cocoa Touch and the Cocoa networking libraries (which suck). Not really awful, just really bad. Enter OAuth. OAuth is a a three-legged authentication framework that is designed to give users maximum control over what data third-party applications have access to without giving their passw
