From CocoaHeads: To sum it up, you can create an NSDictionary through the following: dict = @{ k1 : o1, k2 : o2, k3 : o3 }; Similarly for an NSArray: array = @[ a, b, c ]; and for NSNumber: NSNumber *number; number = @’X’; number = @12345; number = @12345ul; number = @12345ll; […]
Here’s something that helped me when I was working with WEPopover to implement a popover in my iPhone app a la the iPad. If your popover is being instantiated from a UIViewController with a UITableView in it that does not fill up the whole window, then you may have some issues getting the popover to […]
I finish my undergrad in less than 2 months. That’s less than 60 days. I’m going to miss it. I think I already do.
A look into my final year design project, and some of the tools and architectures used to create it.
Facebook’s Graph API doesn’t have a method to easily retrieve a cover photo. However, provided that you (or a user) has given your app access to their Photo Albums, you can get the photo pretty easily. The best way to get it through a single request is using the following FQL query. SELECT cover_object_id from […]
Firstly, I just want to say I’m pretty proud of myself for writing compilable code at 4:30am. Go me. I am making an iOS app as part of my 4th year design project, and we are leveraging Facebook for it. Basically, our app allows you to take a picture of someone’s face and we use […]
Wishing everyone here a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and a great new year! Here are some pictures I took at a mall near my house.
I just saw this ad on CNN. Really well done. This is trademark Apple – making technology seem useful to the average person. No one better than Santa Claus!
This is really cool, we just got featured on The Next Web. Check it out. We’ve been having fun watching the traffic spike. 🙂 Update: We got featured on GigaOM too.
“Oh, are you the guys that made TopForty? I use that all the time when I’m studying!” At Demo Day, someone came up and said this to us – great feeling!
Figured I would give a quick update as to how TopForty.it been doing. We’re about 2 weeks in, and the response has been great. People seem to love the idea, the execution and the UI/UX, which is heartwarming although I still think it’s rough around the edges (won’t tell you where because then you will […]
@rezcubed and I really happy to launch TopForty.it today. TopForty.it is a real-time top 40 list of the hottest songs based on conversations on Twitter. We take a ton of tweets and figure out what the top 40 songs that day are. You’re able to just press play and forget as it cycles through all […]

Here are some good interview resources that I’ve found over time. Felt it would be useful to friends who are going in for their first full-time technical interview.

Am I disappointed by Apple’s release today? Yes, but I think it was inevitable. We were expecting 2 new phones, one with a brand new design and one that was super cheap. I’m not surprised that it wasn’t doable. I’m still getting an iPhone 4S though, since I’m still using an iPhone 2G (That’s right, […]
