I totally agree. We need to learn how to use the right tool for the job. If your job is to cut down trees you wouldn't say "Well, I know how to use a pocket knife and I think a pocket knife is much easier to use than a chainsaw,

I don't dislike the web. I dislike it when web technologies are used to mimic native apps because that creates expectations that can't be fulfilled.

That might unfortunately be true. However, even that is a misconception on the part of companies thinking it is "easier, faster, cheaper" to create web-based apps. Building something with web technologies that's on par with n

They did a nice job on this framework, but I think it is a fundamentally wrong approach. Here is why: http://www.springenwerk.com/2011/09/thoughts-on-mobile-ui-de... Or, if you prefer a video: http://vi

Don't make the mistake of thinking "Storyboard == Auto Layout". I really like Auto Layout and I think it is much easier to understand and read when declared in code. I strongly dislike Storyboards, though, for the 15 reasons

That is really cool, thank you for sharing! I also fully agree with the guy that said that the Autolayout support in IB is a nightmare to work with. Plus, IB does _not_ show you exactly what your UI will look like: You have to Build & R
