Still Python here

I still cannot figure out what this actually is besides Javascript

Thanks for this. I actually found 2 devices that I didn't recognize.

Awesome job. I'd love to incorporate your database into my movie app! https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/moviedo-todo-lists-for-movie...

Correct, Swift uses reference counting in just the same way Objective-C did.

This is my plan as well (also 25). I want to learn from some of the best so that when I'm a bit older I have enough world experience to build something myself. Sure I could build all sorts of apps now, but that is only fraction of the work that goes into building a sustainable business.

I used to think life was a race, but I'm really enjoying the growth and learning parts.

I'd be in Palo Alto

That's an interesting way to look at it..

I've been doing some browsing and I'm preparing to have to pony up $2.5k-$3k, but it just seems crazy. Commuting is fine as long as I can avoid driving (bike or Caltrain). And a neighborhood with things I can walk to. I don't need to be in the center of SF, so I've been looking around the Redwood area.

I'm currently interviewing for a position in SF that will likely be a dream job, but as a midwesterner, the rent situation terrifies me. Salaries certainly seem to be inflated because of this, which is fine, but could anyone offer some insight or precautions about moving to SF at this time?

Really cool! I'd argue that Swift doesn't really have much to do with this, more "Animations in iOS".

You brought up a couple of neat concepts that I wasn't aware of, especially "UISystemAnimation.Delete".

Or maybe "technology". For instance I'm only interested in speaking at iOS/app conferences. I speak on design, programming, and business. So, a single language isn't as important to me.

This is a little off topic, but the detail of updating the reflection when you select radios on the landing page is really slick.

Can you offer some alternatives or ideas as to why its slow and yours is oh-so-fast? Or offer some advice on how to speed his site's load times up?

I think there needs to be more thought and research put into validating that your app idea is worthwhile. There have been traditional means of finding your market and using surveys or engagement to get a good feeling of whether or not people will actually want your product.

I make side-project apps all the time, but I'm aware that they are basically just scratching some itch I had. If you go into it expecting to make the big-bucks without doing market research and not having a marketing budget, you're going to have a bad time.

Agreed. I'd be really happy to see more of these sort of workshops pop up.

What blocked you guys (if you can say)?

If I can give any tips, whenever I'm questioning if a feature is going to get called out when I submit an app, I always fill that "info for reviewer" section with tons of stuff. Explanations, links to docs & legal to show that I'm not doing anything against the law/rules.

Right on, thanks for the thoughtful response.

Did you guys run into any issues getting the app approved by Apple?

Would you be able to give any examples, aside from being "native" (which I'm assuming means its built on AppKit+Cocoa) as to what your app does differently or better than Charles? I use Charles pretty frequently but my co workers haven't gotten on board yet.

As an aside, IMO claiming that Charles isn't native is a little disingenuous. Yes it's built with Java, but I wouldn't dismiss it as non-native (unless you're using native in the purest of ways, meaning that its "natural" - e.g. Cocoa - to the system). I consider tools like Eclipse and IntelliJ "native" even though their UI may be poor compared to Xcode.

This has always been my go-to for data grids

Inconsolata is my favorite too. I've actually moved to Inconsolata-g because of the "0"s http://leonardo-m.livejournal.com/77079.html

Remember that the plane he collided with was being piloted by someone else. I haven't found any evidence to suggest it was the other pilot's fault, but nothing points to this pilot's negligence either.

I think Chrome for iOS has one of the best deeplink/url schemes out there. It even has callbacks to return to your app.

Off topic, is there anything like your service but for movies?

Same here. Been loving nValt and saving my notes in Dropbox. Super simple, and incredibly fast.

I've heard the ad exchange/trade/etc before, but I'm curious how others actually implement this. Do you make an iAd-esque banner and advertise your other apps? Do you use an existing system/framework?

If its your own implementation, how do you manage/track impressions?

I've always heard that the CPI with Facebook Ads was ridiculously high. Thank you for posting the results of your experiment. 0.009% installs is amazingly low to me, but I'm not too familiar with ad-based installs for iOS apps.

I've weighed heavily on word-of-mouth and just "quality" (website, app, reviews, etc) instead of CPIs.

Could you elaborate on how you chose your demographic?

Wow, I never knew these. Thank you!

Thanks!

Would there happen to be a PDF or eBook format of this?
