To clarify: I mean to say that 0 represents "nothing" in C in the same way that it does in math. This is one of the things I love about C--the ability to exploit the properties of numbers directly, rather than needing to build abstractions

For clarification, this is a list of some reader-submitted tricks and tips from the last month, as a way to bring in the New Year. I'm looking forward to doing more of these in the future, so if anyone has any ideas or suggestions, feel fre

Yeah, boilerplate isn't the greatest. Hopefully the instructions on this Dev Center article clear up a few things: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/ios-core-data-buildpac...

If you're looking for a long form version of this, check out the companion Heroku Dev Center article: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/ios-core-data-buildpac... I wanted to keep the pace snappy, since dead air and typing isn't too ex

Heroku is the platform of choice for thousands of iOS, Android, Windows Phone, (and mobile web, of course) applications. This screencast was merely a demonstration of what a rapid iOS development workflow with the Core Data Buildpack looks

Probably not a great idea as-is, without some level of user authentication. I'm definitely working on a nice, integrated solution for that. In the meantime, you can mount Rack::CoreData ( https://github.com/mattt/rack-core-data ), which pow

> Great for simple demo apps, but very painful when you have slightly more complex needs. Unlike Storyboards, the effort you put into writing against a REST API isn't wasted if you decide to roll a new, more complex REST API (which Hero

Absolutely--you can use the same API without modification to write a web, Android, or Mac client.

Houston is still early in development. It will soon be adding an extensible, Rack-mountable webservice to manage device registration, and perhaps eventually support for Android or other platforms.

I have a theory that this could be accomplished in the NSPersistentStoreCoordinator by setting up sister contexts--one for network, one for SQLLite. Network is the master, and replicates to SQLite, which could be used for reads if the netwo

By the looks of it, Parse is still downloading the image as the table view scrolls (that would be only reasonable). The behavior of not displaying until the table stops moving would appear to be a shortcoming of Parse not executing its oper

NSURLCache does disk caching in iOS 5 and up, but only for http (no https) requests. Use SDURLCache if you want more options there.

Just came across this clever solution yesterday, actually. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for URLs containing a username and password (e.g. http://username:password@example.com ). Glad to have found URI.js, though--it's exactly what I was

Oracle support would be very awesome (and hopefully very possible). I designed the protocols to be extremely simple; check the Postgres one for an example (~500 LOC)

Yeah, that should do it :) Induction is my first real project with ARC, so I'm figuring this out as I go along.

You can specify the database as the path of the connection URL. I'll add a field for that ASAP.

Sorry about that! Binaries are up at https://github.com/Induction/Induction/downloads Let me know what build errors you're getting. I would do well to document the requirements (Postgres, Redis)...
