Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software, by Erich Gamma (Author), Richard Helm (Author), Ralph Johnson (Author), John Vlissides (Author)
Cocoa Design Patterns, by Erik Buck (Author), Donald Yacktman (Author)
Brief Description of Design Patterns from Apple
Model-View-Controller from Apple
Thread-safe singleton implementation
I talked so much in the podcast about design patterns that I completely forgot to do my picks for the week! Unfortunately, I’ve been too busy with coding and volunteer work to try out new games, but I have finally moved on to the third Discworld book! For music, anything that gets me up and moving, so I’m choosing the song most recently added to my “Songs to get me moving” playlist. Games, still addicted to SongPop!
My picks for the Week
Book - Equal Rites (Discworld) by Terry Pratchett
Music - “Shut Up and Dance” by WALK THE MOON
Games - SongPop - User name ne.ribbon if you want to challenge me!

3: Xcode Plugins
May 11, 2015 10:28 AM
Episode 3 is all about Xcode Plugins
Listen: Podcast
Just a note: New version of BabyProof released recently!
Xcode plugins live here:
~/Library/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Plug-ins
Plugins I mention on the podcast:
Xvim - gives you the VIM editor in Xcode text windows (not just code editing windows, but anywhere you’d edit text, such as in build phases)
https://github.com/XVimProject/XVim
ColorSense - takes any calls to UIColor and lets you bring up a color picker to change it. Also shows a preview of the color when you are near the color.
https://github.com/omz/ColorSense-for-Xcode
ClangFormat - clean up your code according to various coding styles
https://github.com/travisjeffery/ClangFormat-Xcode
VVDocumenter-Xcode - easy to add HeaderDoc style comments
https://github.com/onevcat/VVDocumenter-Xcode
Code completion for image names
https://github.com/ksuther/KSImageNamed-Xcode
QuickLocalization - convert a string literal into a call to NSLocalizedString
https://github.com/nanaimostudio/Xcode-Quick-Localization
Find more packages with Alcatraz
http://alcatraz.io
Nice description of a few more plugins from Mattt Thompson
http://nshipster.com/xcode-plugins/
In a hurry? Make your installed plugins work a new version of XCode without reinstalling (YMMV)
$ defaults read /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Info DVTPlugInCompatibilityUUID
Then, take the value returned and edit the Info.plist of your plugin to add that UUID to the list of compatible UUIDs.
Pop Culture Links
Games: SongPop and Rock On
Books: On to the second book of Terry Pratchett, The Light Fantastic. Also, really enjoy the Bess Crawford series by Charles Todd - just finished An Unmarked Grave. If you like strong women detectives set in period WWI England/France.
Music: Dvorak Piano Quintet No. 2, Op. 81, first movement

2: CocoaPods and 3rd Party code
April 15, 2015 08:04 AM
Episode 2 is all about my adventures with CocoaPods, and a little bit about 3rd party code in general.
Listen: Podcast
All About CocoaPods
cocoapods.org
Why I now check in my CocoaPods:
http://devchat.tv/iphreaks/097-ips-deconstructing-your-codebase-with-michele-titolo
Crazy big use of CocoaPods @ Artsy
Learned about how they worked from objc.io
http://www.objc.io/issue-22/artsy.html
Here’s their podfile on github:
https://github.com/artsy/eigen/blob/master/Podfile
Another great way to learn about new frameworks/modules/etc.
http://maniacdev.com/
Can sign up for daily email updates on the left side of the site.
Pop Culture Links
The Bone Season and the The Mime Order by Samantha Shannon - great, atmospheric series set in an alternate London with clairvoyants.
Ok Go - Latest Album, or watch their amazing videos on YouTube
GarageBand [Mac|iPhone] - not really a game, but I’ve been having so much fun making short electronic beats, that it feels like a game to me!
