We are almost ready to roll out our completely optimized, brand-spanking new, iOS developer training workshop! I’m really excited because I use this program in my in-person training events when I do iPhone Boot Camp and I’ve wanted badly to integrate Storyboards and Core Data into the program. Now, I’ve been able to manage to [...]

iPhone Training
The hands-down best way to get started with any new activity like iPhone development is to get some training. Some people are fine with books and Internet surfing, but usually this is not good enough. Why Does Reading Fall Short? The problem with starting out is that you’re starting out and you think that you [...]
How to Archive Your Object Graph

FAQ: “Would you work together with me to make a app?”
Once a day or so I get an email that reads something like this, I’ve got a great idea for an app, but no idea how to program or time to make an app myself. Would you like to do it for me? I already asked a developer to do it, but she wanted way [...]
The Object Graph in Objective-C
The object graph is all the stuff in your applications model (the model part of view and controller). This stuff includes not only the objects, but also the relationships between the objects. Understanding what an object graph is and how it relates to your iOS application will make things like Core Data tons easier [...]
