That’s What She Said iPhone App

I recently released my first iPhone app: That’s What She Said iPhone App. Visit the site, download it through the App Store, and let me know what you think. Here is the Direct Link to the iTunes App Store.

It's never been easier to turn any discussion into a funny and usually obscene joke!

Email masking with Javascript

Really simple code for hiding your email address:

<a href="mailto:mike-at-pixor.net" onclick="this.href=this.href.replace(/-at-/,'@')"> email me </a>

Probably lots of other, better ways around but this is easy enough to remember without needing to search every time.

Pretty sweet that I didn’t post all of 2008 and now I’ve posted two days in a row huh?

Developing iPhone Software

I’ve recently started writing iPhone Software and it is a frustrating yet satisfying process. Objective-C is an interesting language and was actually a lot of fun to learn. The Cocoa Touch SDK seems more frustrating because there is somewhat of a lack of example code and open source software due to the Apple’s iPhone NDA that was recently lifted. Thankfully Apple’s documentation is fairly complete and there are a few great resources such as Jeff LaMarche’s iPhone Development Blog.

I hope to start releasing some simple free apps and maybe even a more complex game or application in the near future. I have a few ideas bouncing around in my head but if you’ve got something in mind that you’d like to see on the iPhone, please drop me a line.

iPhone Programming Resources:

  • “The Hillegass Book”: Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X. Not specific to Cocoa Touch, but this is a great introduction to the Objective C language and the Cocoa framework (which is very similar to Cocoa Touch)
  • Apple’s iPhone Dev Center has lots of sample code and full documentation of Cocoa Touch and other Apple frameworks
  • Jeff LaMarche’s iPhone Development Blog is a great resource and has some interesting OpenGL demos with sample code
