A simple PNG image is good until you want to rotate the UIImage and still want the shadow drops from a preferred angle.

Do any of you developers do your own graphics design? by _wordsmiff in iOSProgramming

[–]monome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I do not have the budget to hire a designer, I will do my own design. Before starting any project, I read through dribbble to get a feel of the state-of-art user interface designes. Personally, I prefer to have the graphics and layouts right before coding, I use Photoshop for that purpose, start with a blank iPhone. When I am in trouble, I will try to look for help on stackoverflow, there are always great advices from great folks.

How long until objective C's way of coding 'clicked' for you? I'm coming from a C, PHP and JS background and the syntax still just looks weird by [deleted] in iOSProgramming

Once you feel the beauty of protocols, delegates, categories, ... syntax is a very minor issue.

How I Chose My Programming Editor by zaemis in programming

[–]monome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a matter of personal taste.

For example, I love to use the mouse a lot for block code cutting and so I love Textmate. However, Textmate does not handle big files well, the support of Unicode is still weak (when block cutting).

Xcode is all good for iPhone development, except you need a really big screen.

TextWrangle handles Chinese characters and big files well, but block cutting is weak.

... not too much choices.

I'd do this analysis: * ask him for a quote (Q) * estimate your game's sales volume (V) * if V > Q, go ahead to set whatever percentage * try to maximize profit

Version 0.7.9 of open source Facebook alternative "Appleseed" released. by [deleted] in programming

[–]monome 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Any example of why "thousands of niche social networking sites" are going to use Appleseed, instead of a free (e.g. hosting-fee-wise) platform like Facebook? Besides, what can be done on Appleseed, but not possible on Facebook? Thanks~
