Today I decided to look at integrating Facebook deep into the Cuckoo Nest. A typical example of what I’m wanting to achieve is as shown below. The above screenshot is from an Application called Spotify. This application has permission from a facebook user to post updates to their timeline. The content of the update is generated by [...]

Summer
By Damon | September 9, 2011

I have instead, taken residence at a local creative studio writing loads of code and sipping lots of coffee, good times!! I have been focusing on my iOS development [...]
Javascript files can get pretty messy pretty quick if you prefer to keep everything contained in one javascript file.

Google Base was supposed to be a major part of my final year project, however it appears Google has other plans. The whole service has been depreciated and will be gone [...]

Maybe this will change in future but for the time being, I’m sticking with iOS and plan to push out random apps! I’m looking for that [...]
Since the Rightmove app was a non-starter, I’ve decided (in my quest to publish my first ever app for a mobile device) to create something else. I’m not entirely sure where this app will end, but the initial app will be a simple directory with some advanced features. Using the data I collected last year [...]
