So StackMob have released a beta of v1.0 of their SDK this week with a major departure from their previous SDK. The reason for these big changes are interesting though and I think this is the first 3rd party API SDK that I have seen using NSIncrementalStore in anger.
This video of the always entertaining and knowledgable Graham Lee being interviewed earlier this year at the goto conference in Copenhagen is worth a watch if you have even as passing interest in iOS security.
Since the release of Lion, I have got used to apps like Preview terminating/suspending automatically but I must admit that I have already been annoyed a few times by the same feature being added to Xcode. I am going to try and stick with it but if the annoyance is too much for you then Keith Harrison has the info on how to disable it.
Hari Karam Singh has put together this comprehensive quick reference card for the new Objective-C literal syntax including a few caveats which you may want to think about when using this new syntax.
Mike Ash took a slightly different tack with his Friday Q&A last week and took a tour around the CommonCrypto library included with iOS covering hashing, HMACs and Encryption.
This may be my new answer to the question “Can you recommend a C tutorial?”. Uli Kusterer’s guide to C programming takes you step by step through writing a non-trivial C program. This seems to have been around a while but I came across a link to it this week as it as just been updated for Xcode 4.4. I have to say I love the site name as well.
Tom Dalling with a good warning on the dangers of performSelector: when returning structs rather than objects.
Wise words from Sebastiaan de With on just stopping to think for a second before implementing that custom UI that you saw.

Have you seen the new version of Xcode? Errr… hold on a minute.
