This week I’ve adapted one of my 3D works from 2004 into an iPhone wallpaper. It’s a simple sunset image made in 3D Studio Max.
Hope you like it!

So… 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).
This week, the featured wallpaper is a Space wallpaper
As a bonus, I’m providing a small collection of beautiful space-related iPhone wallpapers for you.
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.
Hello! Every monday we’ll be featuring an iPhone Wallpaper. This week’s featured wallpaper is:
This work was found here. It’s a beautiful abstract green wallpaper. Check out the website for more beautiful abstract iPhone wallpapers
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).
So… I study Japanese. I was searching for a way to convert some EUC-JP encoded files to the UTF-8 (now standard in most OSes), and I found myself stuck with no tools to do so.
Searching the web, I’ve found many language functions to convert lines, strings or chunk of bytes from one encoding to the other, but I have in my hand a plain-text file (a rather large one).
The website Web Icon Set has just released a collection of free blogging icons entitled “Cute Blogging Icon Set”
They are free for both personal and professional use and is provided in 128, 64, 48 and 32 pixel sizes.
As the site says, we cannot host the files elsewhere for download, so, be sure to check out the official page.
It’s not explicitly said in the official site, but the set is available with shadows and no-shadows. The available icons are: About Me, Contact, Download, Freelance, Full-Time, Hire-me, My blog, My work, Not available and Service.
Check out the online currency converter for MacOS X. It was developed on Snow Leopard and targeted to Snow Leopard users.
You can choose to work online or offline. When online, the program fetches the conversion rate from the internet and used for your conversions.
