It’s been a while and that time of year again!

Been a while since there was a post here, but its definetely that tine of year agaIn when creativity starts flowing!

Have started work on a YQL based iPhone app a.k.a iStimulate-the-economy-by-showing-when-the-best-time-to-buy-is(using Yahoo’s YQL APIs + the YOS Objective C library). What Im doing is querying information off a HTML (shopping) site and presenting it as an iPhone app (still undecided whether I should throw in some PUSH NOTIFICATIONS to notify on price changes or new items)

This time around I will be messing with:

  • Multithreading (With network based code.. especially on Mobile networks it is definetly a MUST you don’t want to keep the main thread blocked all the time)
  • using the #if TARGET_IPHONE_SIMULATOR  and #endif blocks for putting in debug code (which is ignored when the device is being targetted)
