How to make an iPhone app?
3iPhone apps?
Nowadays many people own an iPhone or an iPad. Honestly they’re very neat little gadgets. Not only they look great, they offer also the possibility to do countless things.
After doing some serious research on that topic, I’ve found a nice set of howtos and instructions in an ebook to build your own apps and how to sell them efficiently on the iTunes AppStore.
This particular one is the best collection I could find after getting more and more confused by the vast amount of info on the internet.
The ebook teaches you the following things:
- How to Program in BOTH C and Objective-C
- How to work with iPhone OS, Cocoa-Touch and UIKit
- How to assemble a complete working iPhone app
- App Development Formula: Step by Step process of building an app from selecting a niche, design, planning, coding and promoting your product
Basically that’s all you need. The eBook itself has more than 300 pages and is fully packed with information. Even code snippets are there to show you how to get things started.
It’ll currently cost you $47.97 and is worth every cent. Of course you have to be motivated and take your time to work through it. Also the supplier gives you a 60 days money back guarantee. So if you tell the author of the eBook why you’re not satisfied, he’ll give you back a full refund.
So the bottom line is:
“If you want to get started fast in iPhone development check out my ebook where I show you everything you need to learn programming specifically for the iPhone. Don’t waste a lot of time on learning all the lessons the hard way – skip the hard part and go right to the finish line.”

Help the flood victims in Pakistan!

Pakistan’s worst floods in recorded history
More than 2 weeks already passed since the floods, triggered by Monsoon rains, destroyed almost about one fifth of the country. Roughly 20 million people and about 160,000 square kilometers of land have been affected by the enormous amounts of water. People there are suffering badly because of the lack of fresh water supplies and a worrying food shortage.
Humanitarian catastrophe
According to the U.N. 3.5 million children are in severe risk of getting ill which is caused by dirty water. The W.H.O. has estimated that about 36.000 people are already affected by the breakout of fatal cholera and the situation is getting worse with each passing day. Relief workers have a hard time to reach the homeless and very desperate people. The communities urgently need fresh water supplies, latrines and hygiene products.
Donations needed
Due to the picture our western media has drawn of Pakistan which has been often portrayed as a “terror-state”, people are hesitating to donate money. When compared to the earthquake which happened earlier this year in Haiti, the amount of total money donated until now is incredibly small. Western nation’s people often think that the money won’t make it to the humans affected. But not donating money at all is the worst option and aid organizations are doing a great job at using the money effectively and making sure that it arrives where it should.
Where are the billionaires?
Shortly before the floods, various media was reporting about the initiative started by Bill Gates and Warren Buffet to convince billionaires all over the world to donate a part of their vast income for good deeds. I’m wondering why they are so silent about that now. If they aren’t just pulling a PR-gag out of that, they should start already to give money or resources to the aid organizations!
Please donate on one of the following sites to help the people which are desperately needing supplies!

How to conveniently take screenshots in Windows?
1Screenshots?
Screenshots or captures are a great way to show people how something looks like on your screen. Windows already provides a build-in way to capture your screen(s).
If you press the “Print Scrn” button on your keyboard (it’s usually right above the “Insert” key) Windows will capture your current screen and store it in the clipboard. Usually you paste it into MsPaint or directly into your favorite office application.
To capture the current active window of e.g. your webbrowser you just have to press ALT+Print Scrn and Windows will copy the image of the active window into the clipboard. So far so good.
If you have to work with screenshots on a daily basis you won’t be very happy with the Windows solution. For example I need to make screenshots of applications to prove to the developers that there’s a certain bug in their fancy new program. I started to look around for a tool which is easy and fast to handle, preferably free, lets me draw some circles or rectangles on the captured image and allows me to save the captures directly into files without the need to start mspaint.exe.
Greenshot – Tiny, incredibly powerful screen capture tool
So I stumbled upon the free, open source tool called “Greenshot”. It features an own image editor which lets you to instantly edit the screenshot you’ve just made.
If you start up Greenshot and hit the “Print Scrn” button on your keyboard your cursor will turn into a crosshair which lets you to specify the region on your monitor to be captured.
After you have done that your screen will flash and the build-in image editor opens up where you can make further changes to your capture like crop it, write text, draw rectangles, circles or arrows and even obfuscate the parts you don’t want the recipients of your screenshot to be able to read.
And still, you’re able to capture single windows, or your complete screen(s). BTW, you can even capture the output of your video player which displays the picture in overlay mode!
