If you did not have enough time to go through the 50G contents from WWDC'13, I highly recommend you to watch the session 228, aptly named “Hidden Gems in Cocoa and Cocoa Touch”.
Recommended Git workflow
I recently started using Git as my revision control tool. Impressed by the use of branching and merging, I create and merge a lot of branches. Our company use SVN and other peers were not aware/interested in Git. So I took the initiative to use svn-git. After months of progress I left with so many branches for features, svn, QA-release and quick-fix for released builds.
Capture screenshot of the app with iPad simulator
Until recently I was not aware of the shortcut _Ctrl + Cmd + C _
It captures the complete content of the iPad simulator to the clipboard, You can save it to a file by File -> New from Clipboard with preview.app
Idea Vault: When is that?
I guess like me there will be many people often confuse appointments/client calls due to timezone differences.
I am not talking about people who send/receive schedules from Outlook (or similar apps).

Random Notes: LAMP/Web development |Tools & Best practices
I was planning to write a post similar to this for very long time. My intension is to help beginners to know the jargons and best practices. Please add your comments and I will update.
WWDC 2010 - iPhone 4
- iPad didn’t replace common tasks. Steve was referring his notepad on stage:). Old habits die hard.
- Steve can still memorize 24 countries and repeat them in the same order. Bravo! Good job Steve.
- Yes, he appreciated Microsoft for their HTML5 demos.
- Now the revenue will be shared 60-40%. 40% of iAd revenue to Apple.
- Will FaceTime work if there are quite a few devices on the Wi-Fi network?
- If FaceTime is Open, then H.264 and AAC too?
- If the same front side glass was used in the back of iPhone 4, can we replace the backside glass for the front in case of damages to the front?
- 29$ for bumb ( a band covers the antennas’). Come on Steve, let the poor guys live with the iPhone/iPad cover business.
- FaceTime is open since it use many OpenSource tools & standards.
are few points I noticed during Keynote.
Download Apple WWDC Keynote videos
I was always disappointed with Apple Keynote pages. It allows you to stream and watch the videos with QuickTime which is not great for streaming and videos are not HTML5 yet. Another restriction with QuickTime is, you need to have QuickTime Pro to save the video.
