NSScreencast: Bite-sized Screencasts for iOS Development
- DavidTO1 15y agoGreat job with the videos. Memory management is sort of obsolete with ARC.
- subdigital 15y agoThanks! I still recommend that everyone learn how memory management works before jumping into ARC. Much of what I do still has to support 4.0. That said, ARC is pretty badass, and I plan on doing a screencast on ARC in the near future.
- stottc 15y agoARC is nearly fully supported on 4.0
- subdigital 15y agoYou're right, ARC is partially supported in 4.0 (no weak references), but learning the hard way is still beneficial before learning on ARC.
- ighost 15y agoIf you don't understand basic memory management without ARC, you have no chance of ever understanding the weak reference annotations that ARC requires in certain cases (e.g. to avoid retain loops).

- subdigital 15y ago....but those aren't "bite-sized" ;)
- hung 15y agoI'd argue that 20 minutes isn't either, but fair enough :)
- pdelgallego 15y agoGreat! RSS feed? How often are planing to release episodes?
- subdigital 15y agoThere's an RSS feed at http://feeds.feedburner.com/nsscreencast http://feeds.feedburner.com/nsscreencast. It doesn't yet contain the enclosure for iTunes, but I'll get that in shortly. I'll be releasing a video each week.
- wdewind 15y agoWatched the first episode. I've written some really crappy iOS apps just as side projects and so this helped clear up a bunch of slight misconceptions I had about the way it worked. Great video, super clear explanations, I have a much more solid understanding now. Thanks. One nitpick is the video kept freezing for me, I'd refresh and it would play another minute or so and then freeze again. Maybe just the HN effect or something.
- subdigital 15y agoThanks for the feedback! I'm guessing your right about the video skipping, but I'll keep my eye on it.
- jaydz 15y agoGood stuff hope to see more videos soon. Also, really good domain name!
- kleiba 15y agoAlso, really good domain name! That depends of course on your cultural and language background. In Germany, "NS" in a standard abbrevation for "Nationalsozialismus", the ideology of the Hitler regime from which the abbreviation "Nazi" derives. For instance, the time between '33 and '45 is typically called "NS-Zeit". I don't think there's any danger, though, that anyone will confuse this website's content with anything related to that meaning ;-)
- subdigital 15y agoWow, kleiba, that's interesting to know Of course "NS" is a play on Apple's Foundation classes that use the NextStep prefix for pseudo-namespaces. It's unfortunate that it has connotations from our sordid past.
- kleiba 15y agoYeah, I thought it was interesting too, but others apparently didn't, or why else the downvote?
- xoebus 15y agoThese are great: can't wait to see the next one!
