Finally a good Objective-C cheat sheet →
After trying to work out how to do collision detection I realised that I had a little problem. I am not very good at Objective-C so I went to the library and got a book a very shameful book. The book is a little too basic for my liking but it did have a link to this handy cheat sheet.
Next: Build a basic non-game iPhone app to improve my objective-c skills.

Starting iOS Development
For a while now I have been trying to build a iPhone Game I tried doing it in html5 and failed. So I decided to go native found the library that Angry Birds is built with and figured if it was good enought for them its good enough for me.
Next: Do the tutorial.
Update: Turns out I was wrong about Angry Birds but it looks pretty good so I will keep using it.

Why God Why
<rant>
I found the following code in an project that should not be named:
$("#lettersTable").load('URL', {key:document.getElementById('key').value});
No you should not use document.getElementById in jQuery! not having to use document.getElementById is the whole point of jQuery.

Wellington Mobile Developers User Group
After coming back from Datacom code camp on the weekend I found out that Wellington does not have a Mobile Developers User Group(there was a Phone 7 one once but it didn’t take off).
After talking to my manager it looks like one will be starting soon at the Datacom Wellington offices watch this space.
Comment if you are interested.
