Sydney’s Debut Video
It took nearly a year for this to see reality, but here it is, Sydney Tomchak’s first video. This time shot and edited by Brenda, and get this…. it was done entirely on her iPhone! She would shoot footage along the way, add photos here and there, and just edit a shot or two as […]
New Book: Programming in Objective-C 2.0
I might be taking a 5 day class at the end of October on iPhone programming, and this book will do a good job getting me ready for the class. One of the best things about buying Kindle books is that you literally have the book within seconds of buying it, without having to spend […]
