iPhone Coding Techniques


Hour #1: Owen - When Bad Code goes Good - making a crashing iPhone app  
usable.

Hour #2:  More Than You Ever Thought There Was To Know About  
Initializers In Objective-C The humble initializer hides a lot of  
complexity, and a surprising number of things to get wrong. We'll talk  
about: • How Objective C and C++ differ in allocation and  
initialization. • The separation of allocation and initialization. •  
Memory zones. • How to call the initializer of a superclass. • What to  
return from an initializer. • What's the best way to set instance  
variables in an initializer, and why is the answer controversial. •  
Designated initializers -- what they are, why they are, and what the  
rules are. • What initialization method should you override for an  
object that will be read from a NIB file. (Hint: It depends.) • How  
allocation and initialization interact with class clusters. (Why  
subclassing something like NSArray is different.)
