Building a Universal Framework for iOS →
Apple has invested quite a bit of time into making it easy to compile for a number of different architectures in XCode. For instance, compiling a library into its armv6, armv7, and i386 variants is just a matter of specifying the supported architecture types. However, there isn’t a built-in mechanism to take the binaries built for the various architectures and merge them into a universal iOS...

Windows phone 8 pros and cons
Lets discuss cons first
1. You need a developer account to test your software on real device. You can add only 1 device in student program and 3 devices in regular program. That a big negative point if you got to test your code on multiple devices-may be to show client.
2. It uses nokia maps.
3. You cant develop for WP8 in a virtual machine.

jaytrixz-dev:
In one of my projects, I needed to update a UILabel whenever a web service fetched has been completed. I asked my issue on stackoverflow.com and they pointed my out on using KVO. Googling pointed me to this excellent tutorial discussing both KVC and KVO. It’s pretty straighforward that noobs like me can get it in an instant.

JASidePanels is a UIViewController container designed for presenting a center panel with revealable side panels - one to the left and one to the right. The main inspiration for this project is the menuing system in Path 2.0 and Facebook’s iOS apps.

Can’t remember whether that image you just added to the project was called button-separator-left or button-left-separator? Now you don’t have to, because this will autocomplete your imageNamed: calls like you’d expect. Just type in [NSImage imageNamed: or [UIImage imageNamed: and all the images in your project will conveniently appear in the autocomplete menu.

ObjCViz is very quick hack I wrote when I discovered LJV (for “Lightweight Java Visualizer”), a tool that dumped Java instances graph to GraphViz format. I tried to do something similar in Objective-C. It shows how you can dig into the Objective-C runtime to get detailed information about the Objective-C instances and classes in your running program.

Relative date for NSDate
digdog:
NSDate does not have relative date method, so you will need to use NSCalendar to compare with current time, get the NSDateComponents return, and check those date selectors one by one.
Instead of checking them manually, I create a NSArray that holds the name of those selectors, and use NSInvocation to find out first non-zero result, and return it as relative date.

Xpath and xml namespaces
Normally, xpath will only get you results from default namespace. If you have some user defined namespaces, Xpath will not return any result.
to counter this situation, you have to first register your namespace

Xpath not returning results
If you are having same problem as I did, its probably because of XML namespace in your xml.
to make XPath work, you should remove the namespace info from the xml.
