Something I've been musing over for the last few days has been whether or not this will help raise prices in the app store. Or will "push" be an add-on, purchased for $4.99/mo/yr via the new in-app store. As cstejerean said, "no shit, serve

Yes, it is the language used to create iPhone applications. Yes, the language is probably becoming more popular as more developers learn it, in order to create iPhone applications. Since iPhone applications are still relatively new, and hav

I just verified this -- the information is accurate. It's account wide, not on a per app basis. The exact text is: "You can still add 79 out of the maximum 100 devices allocated for your team." I removed a device and the text remained -- 7

Cool. So what frameworks did you use to build it? Are you using pure Obj-C sqlite access, or something like fmdb/pldatabase/sqlitepersistentobjects? What was the most challenging aspect of building it? How will you market it? The app stor

After my 4th app went into the store, I get e-mails all the time now. Release something fairly popular within its niche and the opportunities will start to come your way. In the meantime, just keep trawling the usual sites. e.g., 37signal

Crap headline. This has been going on since the app store first came out. Everytime I see an app using UIProgressHud or something similar, I laugh. Google isn't setting a trend here. They're just following.

PinchMedia is super friendly and would be more than happy to talk to you. Send them an e-mail (info@pinchmedia). * Disclaimer: I just use their analytics package.

Perhaps because Cuban is a fairly prominent angel investor within the community? Just because it's not relevant to you, doesn't mean it isn't interesting and relevant to the rest of us. If no one found it interesting, then it wouldn't get

The latest version of the SDK that isn't under NDA. :-) Just do a Google search for iPhone SDK PPC. There are a few blog posts about how to get it working -- and it was relatively straightforward.

by jdg 18y ago
For what it's worth, while the SDK claims to be Intel only, I managed to get it mostly working on an old PPC powerbook. The only piece that did not work was code signing. In any case, just splurge for a Mac Mini if you're not ready to mak

+1 for SQLitePersistentObjects ( http://code.google.com/p/sqlitepersistentobjects/ ). I'm using it in all of my applications that need SQLite access, and it rocks.

I never felt like the "initial switch" was that traumatic at all.

ehh, he's missing the point entirely. It's too bad he's disabled comments on his post. Github is about social coding, whether that's private or public. It's about having a very, very nice UI on top of features normally hidden away behind

The community is still in its infancy -- much like Ruby on Rails back in late 2004/early 2005. At that time, most of us were building apps for ourselves. A few months after that the contract market started to pickup. Then it progressed i

Key phrase: "which affects all publishers regarding this material". It's not just pragprog. There isn't any real news here other than they're taking it off their docket. Same situation as before with their last blog post about the [redact

Nah, it doesn't break your flow. These steps are everything before and after your flow. Flow, to me, is when you're in deep actually developing. Once you have it up and rolling and have done it more than once, it's pretty easy. Setting u

This write-up is spot on the money. The only addition I would have, based on my own experience, is that you need to fill out your banking/tax info AS SOON AS YOU ARE ACCEPTED. It's a 4-week wait for approval on that part right now. PS - S

Billing systems are a black box. They're typically geared for one product / company and that's it. Do us all a favor and open source your code!

You're young. Health insurance is going to be relatively cheap. I just signed up for a plan for my wife and I (26/25 respectively), and it's going to cost us around $250/mo with a reasonable deductible, office copay's and prescription cove

Wordpress. Really. Don't build one from scratch - it's a waste of your time, unless you're planning on turning it into a product later on.

$250 for just a demonstration of proper billing code alone is $250 well spent. I'm sure you will get at least $250 worth of ideas and gotchas out of it without even breaking a sweat. Again, not a shill, advertisement or even a customer. I

Braintree is great to work with. A few weeks back I hadn't heard of them either. My client was going to use TrustCommerce originally, but they couldn't get their act together and decided to not return phone calls or be very responsive. Re

This is really great stuff. I've had a few interactions with Benjamin in the past and he's a real pro. While I haven't seen the actual code in the SaaS kit, I imagine it's top notch. Billing is one of the trickiest things to get right. It
