Custom drawing UITableViewCell for iPhone
I’m currently developing an iPhone application for interfacing with bit.ly and uiop.me sites. These sites provide resources for shortening urls and provide clicks and tweets statistics.
For a better display of information, I was researching on how to do some custom table cell drawing using Interface Builder, and I found out that not many people like it (don’t really get why, but I’m not going to dive into that just yet). Nevertheless, I’ve found two very good and detailed tutorials at the E-String Technologies site and Chris-Software.com. Since I don’t like repeating what others have written so well, I’m providing here the links to their tutorials.

Learning to Search (+SQLite queries)
Hello,
Today I’m starting to write tutorials for iPhone, starting with a simple thing that took me a while to learn. How to make simple searches for iPhone and display it promptly in the search result?
All the commands and screenshots below were taken on a MacOS X 10.6.2 with XCode 3.2.1 and iPhoneOS SDK 3.1.2.
I started by creating a database with common people names. I’ve found some common american names for male and female, wich I got the first 50 of each one, making a simple SQLite table, that you can get it from here (zipped for convenience).
