It's silly that the iPhone SDK does not come with an RSS reader, and shocking that the XML parser is crippled by lack of DOM parsing. SAX parsing is faster, but for most RSS feeds I'd consider the savings neglible. On 3g I can kind of see the point, but why not leave that to the developer, instead of removing functionality?
Fortunately git is easy to extend. I'd like to share a very short but useful git extension with you: git-deploy. If you didn't know, git can easily be extended by having an executable on your path with the git- prefix. Therefore, an executable file named git-cats can be invoked via git cats, git-scrub via git scrub and so forth.
Date and time manipulation is rarely a fun job. Adobe didn't make things any easier by not including a simple time picker with the standard distribution. Fortunatlely creating a component to do this is a relatively easy job.
Check out the Carousel30 time picker control below with a word of caution: this component has not been used on any production system, and only tested at the most rudimentary levels. In other words, use at your own risk. Right-click for source code.
I must admit I'm not much of a "blogger". My upcoming posts will be related entirely to the joys and sorrows of web, desktop, and mobile development from a technical perspective. I will try to keep it brief and to the point. I will try to keep it updated monthly. Most of all, I will try to keep the posts relevant and easy to digest.
