iOS App : iBoincStats

My latest app iBoincStats has just been approved by Apple.  Releasing software (even something this small) is always a rush, it never gets old.

I decided to do an app instead of a game for a change, just to see what the interface builder, XML and "work" type development would be like. It turned out being a lot faster and simpler than I expected. I have also always been a big fan of BOINC, and checking my "stats" for many years now, all the way back before there was a BOINC platform, and it was only the SETI@Home project.
 (An added bonus: unlike games this one it would actually be available on the South African App store as well as the international ones)

During my development career I have never really spent a lot of time designing and developing UIs, I always ended up on the backend side of development projects. So take the next statement in that light:
I think Apple has actually done a pretty good job (after some initial learning frustration) with their interface builder and storyboard shipped with XCode. I sat down and after a good couple of hours of struggling, something eventually clicked and it all finally came together. I restarted my project, copied over the backend code and in literally 15 minutes the storyboard and 3 UIs were done. Awesome.

I had a couple "funnies" while still using XCode 4.2, but just upgraded to 4.3 and those particular issues seem to have been corrected.

  2. If you log into one of the projects you are running you will probably find it with the account details.

    I checked on Seti@home just now.
    Log in at http://setiathome.berkeley.edu

    Then go to account details, under the Computing and credit section, the Cross-Project ID was there.

    1. Hi Steve, that is odd...
      Are you definitely connected to the internet when it was trying to validate?

      I just doubled checked, I am using my CPID from the seti project so that should definitely work.

  6. Taking everything into account, you can't make those utilizing a large scale manufacturing process. Each calfskin coat is hand tailored; meaning it requires a ton of sweat and exertion for experts to deliver every top notch hand tailored coat. A cowhide coat can require as long as seven days to be prepared!

  7. iOS is a closed system whereas Android is more open. Users have barely any system permissions in iOS but in Android, users can customize their phones easily. Android software is available for many manufacturers such as Samsung, LG etc. and this may lead to some quality problems in the cheaper phones.

  15. All things considered, you cannot produce those through a large-scale manufacturing process. Each calfskin coat is hand tailored, which means that Resident Evil 4 Jacket professionals must put in a lot of effort and sweat to produce each superior hand tailored coat.

  16. I have never really dedicated a lot of time to designing and building user interfaces during my career in development; instead, I always found myself working on the backend of development projects. After battling for a good two hours, I sat down, and ultimately something clicked, and everything came together. Corporate Tax In Dubai

  19. unholy blades
    Unholy Blades casts a spell that transcends the boundaries of fantasy, immersing readers in a world where the clash of steel mirrors the clash of destinies. The unholy blades, ancient relics with a sinister allure, become the focal point of a narrative that delves into the complexities of power and the choices it demands. Characters navigate a landscape where morality is as fluid as the shadows, and the unholy blades, more than weapons, are catalysts for transformation. With its evocative prose and a tapestry of characters navigating the blurred lines between good and evil, Unholy Blades is a gripping odyssey into the heart of darkness, leaving an indelible mark on the reader's imagination.
