I received an email from Apple asking developers to test out a version of AIM with push capability. It drained my battery faster than checking email every 15 minutes (that is, the phone didn't last a day without requiring another charge). I

The preface of the book says 'This book is written for programmers who already know some C programming and something about objects'. I'm not a strong coder, but it has been great in getting me started and teaching exactly how Objective C /

Fair enough :) My idea is a photography album hosting website where you can order prints from local photo labs in my country. I'm fully aware of smugmug, but i've seen countless local forum posts asking for one specific to my country in our

Thanks! frameworks would certainly make things easier now that you've mentioned it. I've dabbled with django and web.py but never thought of a php framework (which i'm probably more comfortable with than python).
