Does this work on the web or just in-app? What is Apple's Commission?

Hey everyone, I put together a library to help make iOS client/server apps. It's a combo of SDScaffoldKit, a scaffolding framework for iOS, AFNetworking + AFIncrementalStore, a great data syncing framework, and the heroku-core-data-buildpack. This project wouldn't be possible without the great open-source work of Mattt Thompson and the Heroku team.

It's not a silver bullet, but it's a great way to start your next iOS project. The code created is something you can actually build on top of without being locked into a platform. You can even change the server out for any REST-based endpoint. Plus, it's free and open-source. I created a screencast to show how it all works. I would love to hear what you think. Happy coding :)

stevederico | 14 years ago | on: The best way to learn iOS Programming... well its working for me

Great Job OP. I left my full-time job last year to become an iOS Developer. Best decision I have ever made. IOS Programming Version 2 is the best book out there, so you are on the right track.

I would also highly recommend the Stanford iTunes U Courses. http://itunes.apple.com/us/itunes-u/ipad-iphone-application-...

If you are using Xcode 4.2 the differences from the iOS Programming book are kinda tricky. I plan on posting the updated steps in the coming weeks. In the mean time, feel free to reach out to me at Steve @ Bixbyapps.com.

Thanks OP and Congrats.

stevederico | 14 years ago | on: Screencast: Make a remote data iOS table in minutes

If you haven't checked out Parse yet, take 5 minutes and go through their quick start guide. (Documentation is written exceptionally well)

https://www.parse.com/apps/quickstart

The PFObject class alone allows me to do work in minutes that used to take hours with server setup. Also, great classes like this UITableViewController subclass are always being released.

The only thing better than this platform, is the team running it. They are taking the time to do the little things and build a great product. They answer each email they receive, they genuinely listen to user feedback, and they are always looking for new ways push the platform forward.

I am with @Skroob on this one. This is one product I look forward to using the most in 2012.

PS- If you are worried data only on a remote server, you can always serialize the object and store it in a flat file or mirror it over to a NSManagedObject and store it in CoreData.

Startup School last year convinced me to leave my job at a big tech company and follow my passion. I am now a full-time freelance iOS developer and I couldn't be happier. This event is a life changer, congrats to all accepted this year.
