When I’m not writing iPhone or Mac applications, I still dabble a little in web development.

I’ve just finished a project for Freeview (working with the good folks over at McCann Sydney) to build a CMS for their website.

I just received the following email from Apple (Conversion farts when you shake it – hence the word is in the search keywords):

“We’ve reviewed Conversion 2.2 and determined that we cannot post this version of your iPhone application to the App Store at this time because of inappropriate ‘Keywords’ used to identify your application. We cannot post applications that contain irrelevant keywords in their search criteria. Keywords must be applicable to the application content. It would be appropriate to remove fart.”

My book arrived!

It’s thinner than I thought it would be. They sent me lots of copies:

Pretty much the best online resources for new (and non-new) Cocoa/Objective-C developers are Scott Stevensons’ Cocoa Dev Central and Theocacao sites – I cannot recommend them enough.

Scott has been writing tutorials for five years, and has just announced his new book: Cocoa and Objective-C: Up and Running which is sure to be a classic.

Part 1 in a series on how to make glossy buttons in your iPhone applications.

Matt Gallagher has written a small sample app that demonstrates how to use CoreLocation in Snow Leopard.

It’s interesting to see how some of the iPhone functionality is coming over onto the Mac…

iPhoneDevCamp has a great list of free, open source iPhone libraries and applications.

Among them are ARKit: an Augmented-Reality framework and OpenFlow: a CoverFlow replacement for Apple’s private CoverFlow API.

According to the Peachpit website, my book should be available for purchase in just over a week. I’ve made all the example code used in the book available for download here.

Netbanker published an article about the ING iPhone app I just completed work on. You can read it here.

I just sent the final piece of copy to the publisher, and my book is now complete and should be off to the printers next week.

It’s been a LOT more work than I thought it would be, and I’d never have made it through without all the help from the great people over at Peachpit.

In other news, another project that I worked on recently is now available for download – The ING DIRECT Home Loan Toolkit.

It’s free, so go download it and give it a try.
