iStat Menus Giveaway!

But no, not us.

The guys at AppFlow are giving away a family license pack for iStat Menus, from the same makers of Consume (for iPhone and soon for iPad).

Bjango (twitter) is developing some nice applications for iPhone and is coming to the Mac desktop with the iStat Menus, and what a great start! Their application monitors your system (even the battery of you MacBook) in a very discrete way.

The giveaway ends next Saturday, June 5th, so if I were you, I would wait no more.

The iStat Menus is available for download on Bjango site, and the full version costs $16 dollars.

New application: Encomendas Brasil

I’ve just finished up creating an iPhone application intended to track packages at Brazilian’s mail company: Correios. You’ll be able to track packages and keep record of what you’re tracking. You need only to enter the information once, and the application keeps it stored for you (until you delete it).

You’ll need only a device with an active internet connection.

Check out the screen shots:

Once the application is approved, i’ll post a link to the iTunes store. The application is free with ads.

iPhone Developer Enrollment Experience

I’ve seen numerous posts of how long it takes for someone in a country that do not have a Apple Store (not to be confused with iTunes Store) to enroll into the iPhone Developer Program.

I’m from Brazil, and I’ve seen many reports of enrollments taking more than 4 weeks to complete, and, after reading all these posts, I was conformed in waiting the four weeks for the process.

Just so you know, we need to send a signed fax with a lot of information, including credit-card details, to Apple.

I was astonished that, 4 hours after I’ve sent the fax, my credit card was charged and I’ve got two e-mails saying that my developer program was activated and it was ready to use. Immediately I’ve logged on the Apple developer site, and it was everything there. Provisioning creation, iPhone SDK 4 and iPhone OS 4 available for download… Everything.

Well, thank you Apple, for another great customer service.

I’m sorry my fellow countrymates took so long, but we do need to report the goods and bads, right? Expect some info on upcoming app store software from us!

Hope you like it!

Learning Cocoa

Book CoverSo… Are you an experienced programmer and is moving to Cocoa? For either MacOS X or iPhone OS, the Cocoa Programming: A Quick-Start Guide for Developers book from the Pragmatic Bookshelf is a great addition to your library. It’s a great deal, wich i’ve just finished reading. The eBook costs $22.00 (US Dollars).

It assumes that you already know how to code, and is moving to a new platform (in this case Cocoa). It helped me a lot (and it still does) when I came from my C/C++ background to the MacOS Cocoa + ObjectiveC. It’s a hands-on approach that leaves no gaps in the explanations.  I’ve found myself many times coming from the Apple’s official tutorials to the eBook to get some clarification on some topics. It’s great both for learning and for reference.

If you’re new to programming and is starting in a MacOS platform, you can check out the Beginning Mac Programming: Develop with Objective-C and Cocoa. I haven’t read this one, but it seems to make the same approach from the first one, except it does not assume any programming background.

In the meantime, my wishlist is available with some other options of books (and, if you want to send me a gift, those are great ones).
