They only recently started making money with every sale of a Xbox 360. Typically console makers sell their hardware at a loss to get it into as many hands as possible and then make money with software. That is why Nintendo is taking such a

Yup you are correct Jimmie. Unfortunate that I cannot go back and edit it.

StackOverflow is a watershed website. There are very few websites I can go without and StackOverflow is, without a doubt, one of them. It is difficult to remember the dark ages where every question I typed into Google would link to Expert E

My pleasure. If you have any other questions about specific frameworks or nuances of UIKit don't hesitate to ask. I always like talking about Objective-C and UIKit. Keeps me sharp.

The delegates are exactly what I factored out of ASIHTTPRequest when I made my own version. Good to see someone has taken the ball and ran with it.

I was two years out of school working on C# and WPF when I was tasked with writing an iOS app. My first steps to gain knowledge of the syntax/structure/etc of the language was to watch the Standford CS139p lectures ( http://itunes.apple.com

Heh I know I'm sorry. The LotR fan in me cannot be contained. I'll try harder in the future.

How many more years before I get obliterated? I'm going on three and business is continually climbing for iOS development. The introduction of the iPad was an amazing boom and its adoption rate continues to soar. I'm not going to sit on my

"The problem is this: all social networks run on the principle that if you're not paying for the product, you are the product." I wonder what percentage of Facebook/Foursquare/etc users realize this?

Remember, when you aren't paying for the product, you are the product. Everyone using all the "free" social networks needs to understand this.

Can you explain how this is tricky to get working? If we are talking about UITableView then it only asks you for a row when it is about to be displayed. So in that case you are only loading the image when it is about to become visible. I ha

You realize that is just a matter of experience? Using the frameworks I've developed I can have a iOS app hit a web service and display a list of data in 30 minutes max. I could write three paragraphs on all the "complex" stuff I'd have to

As an iOS developer I can say that I've never tested my apps using VoiceOver. Not because I didn't want to spend the time or figured it was such a small part of the market that it wasn't economically viable. The thought literally never ente

Yeah I really liked the development topics. I suppose it is time to start looking for another podcast that fills that void. Don't suppose you have any recommendations do you?

In my opinion yes. Comparing the two, they have the exact same functionality that I care about and Readability has a Chrome extension which is a lot better in the Instapaper bookmarklet to me. Instapaper does have a collection of previous a

Exactly. Back in the earlier episodes when they were talking about development they were pulling the topics from concrete problems that they had solved. Their topics now seem to stem from random anecdotes from their lives and their "experti

I'm still listening to Build & Analyze but I'm one or two more nonsensical episodes away from removing it from iTunes. The earlier episodes were a lot better in my opinion. Conversation was focused much more on actual development and th
