CodeCropper: Will code for food.

This post was originally published in October of 2013 so some information might be outdated. I usually write very technical things about iOS in my blog but today I’ll make an exception. I get asked about this a lot so I decided to write an article about it so I could point people to instead…

The pain As I mentioned in my last blog post, I started learning Python some time ago and fell in love with it. But, as with any new programming language, I spent a lot of time browsing through the documentation to find out the correct name of the method to find a substring within a string…

An excuse to use Python I consider myself a polyglot programmer and try to learn a new language every now and again. My latest is Python and I can say that I love it! It’s easy to learn, has a HUGE library, very good support for lists and dictionaries and is flexible enough to be an…

Does it have to be so hard? Are you writing a camera app or image editing app for iOS but are clueless on how to add geolocation to your pictures? Baffled by the lack of information in the otherwise very thorough XCode documentation? I feel your pain my friend. Or actually, felt, cause I got…
