In case folks are dying to read more of my technical writing, I’ve been writing a lot of material over at the Big Nerd Ranch Weblog, including some gems like:
- Notifications – registering and posting, Handling and spying
- Anatomy of a Bug Report
- String and String, what is String?
- A quieter Log
- Where does it go, George? (three places you can put instance variables)
- The Ranch at CocoaConf DC, 2012
- So, what next? (what to do after reading a book or taking a course)
- Beware the Cruftmonster
- NS-structs
- Editorial Rule-making
- Property List Serialization
- Actually finding a memory management error with Instruments
- BOOL’s sharp corners
- Both kinds of Cocoa
- Table Scanning
- A motivation for ivar decorations
- Why Protocols?, Protocols and Delegation (including a cheesy little world map view), and Adopting protocols in class extensions
- isEqual[ToString]: and going down a rabbit-hole
- NSError NoNo
- Objective-C Literals, and more of the same
- An easy to use block-based timing utility
- Some category pros and cons (hrm, the cat looks familiar)
- and finally an ARC Gotcha.
Well, OK, that’s everything, even the not-so-gemmy. For the forseeable future my geek writing will be over there, and I’ll reserve this weblog for cute Vikki pictures:
