The painting you use as an example is Le Désespéré by Courbet. It means the desperate, not "the surprised". Why did you choose this painting as an example?

I created quickly that iOS app to try the awesome API of face.com. The result is pretty funny.

You made an iOS app in a weekend?? I've never made one, but would love to learn. How long did it take you to get to this speed?

Yes: the iOS app and the server side in a weekend (and one day actually).

I'm doing mobile app development for now 2 years (and other programming stuff for 5 years) so I guess that I managed to do it in a weekend thanks to my experience.

Can I email you somewhere?

You can contact me at martin.moizard@gmail.com

Thanks, just emailed you.

Haha, pretty funny, faster then I expected it to be as well. I think starting with the forward facing camera (or remembering the preference) would be a good improvement though.

What resources did you use to teach yourself this?

I didn't use any particular resource, I'm teaching myself mobile dev for 2 years now, so, so far I've been reading a lot of things across the web.
