Hi!

This tutorial is about how to make your apps UX just a little bit better. Have you ever noticed the message in google maps stating that if you activate Wifi you would get a better positioning? Or that when you want to send a text message and your phone is on flight mode, that you get the message to de-activate flight mode in order to send a text?

Well, it is actually really simple. These are just links that are opened. So, in this tutorial I will show you how to do this using e.g. Reachability.

Hi!

Currently I am working on a little project where I need to fetch the area code form a phone number for Sweden. This, however, is not one of my strongest sides… I really hate Regex.
Since this is an iOS project, I would like some objective-C code… so I jumped over to one of the greatest sites I know and made a post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8188964/getting-an-areacode-from-the-phone-number

I got a great answer, which I approved, and made a test script in PHP. This is me sharing this test script. If you can use it, have fun with it but, Do not forget to Like the post and Flattr it

Little off topic from my usual posts, just wanted to let you guys know that I have some (10-20) Spotify invites to give away. Maybe some of you US visitors that are interested?
Leave me a comment with your email address and I’ll send you one.

On tuesday this week I released a new website, the website is called “Where I am . At”: http://whereiam.at.

The purpose of this website is to find your location quickly and easily. This can be very usefull when developing iOS applications using your current location.

Take a look at, http://whereiam.at and let me know what you think of it!

I think thats the longest title I could think off… or is it? Anyways… with regards to the questions and/or complaints I have gotten about my (somewhat “crappy”) itunes parser which I wrote in the past, I decided to quickly put together a new parser, just for fetching specific app data.

So, what did I do? Well, it basicly parses the data from the “Apple – iTunes – RSS Generator” and shows it for you in your browser. This could be usefull for those of you that want to implement real-time iTunes appstore data into your website.
