Re: Simulate touch event with cordinate?

I'm sorry, but my opinion remains. If someone such as Stephen Hawking (which is not mentioned that people like him are the users) would like to read with face gestures, he would not use an iPhone. Not even an iPad. Unless if there's an external device that could translate all of the gestures that

Re: Book for expert programmer about cocoa and Objective-C

Would you say to get Cocoa Programming by Anguish, Buck, & Yacktman (circa Sept 2002), or get Cocoa Programming Developer's Handbook by David Chisnall (circa Jan 2010), which according to Amazon is the "newer version" of the book??? - h On Fri, Apr 1, 2011 at 13:01, John Pannell wrote: > Even th

John’s kind. A) You’d be hard pressed to find it in any form other than electronic. Even I only have a single copy. I think Erik hoarded the last few. b) It is 8+ years old. A lot of it is dated in that new additional have been made to those classes. c) As John said, it doesn’t cover new capabil

We try and do that in the doc now. If it falls short, tell us, be specific, and constructive is possible. On Apr 3, 2011, at 10:52 PM, Luther Baker wrote: > I have and like Chisnall's book - but I wouldn't describe it as > >> BIG, DIFFICULT and ... HARDCORE > > I think Chisnall cover's a lot o

No, not at all. I had nothing to do with the book. I didn’t even get a pre-release copy to read. I even bought my copy. (Although I think Erik offered to send me one) I try desperately not to read third party books that cover areas I do until I’ve done so. I don’t want to be influenced, even b

Category Question

I have added a category to NSDecimalNumber. I get a warning that NSDecimalNUmber may not respond to 'method' where 'method' is what I added in the Category. Is this standard behavior? It seems to me that methods in Categories should be recognized at compile time. -koko
