News

Amazing numbers this week from Apple, welcome to the new world.

Try not to get lost in this and emerge smiling an hour later like I did.

Tools

A recording of Paul Ardeleanu’s recent talk from the London iOS Technical Group which was on and around prototyping an iOS app.

Code

Ole Begemann with a look beyond the basics of gesture recognisers into making them feel natural and behave as the user expects. Ole’s blog really is a superb resource and if you don’t subscribe directly or follow him on Twitter then you really should.

If you are using Core Data but don’t use mogenerator then you will want to take a look at this getting startedguide out from John Blanco.

More Core Data goodness from Keith Harrison on using expressions with your Core Data queries.

I liked this look at an “infinite” drill down using iOS 5 storyboards by Jason Lust.

Design

Something a little different. This PSD file of an (imaginary) iPad app which Sebastien Gabriel gave away for free this week is interesting. It is always interesting to see how a designer works with Photoshop and I thought that giving away a fully finished PSD like this was interesting enough for everyone to check out.

Really interesting video of a prototype of a new way to handle page turning in a much richer and intelligent way than a single swipe.
