Learning by Processing

Sometimes the official description of an application is so good that anything you could write about it would only be a longer or worse rewording of the original text. The description of Processing is one of them. Feel free to call me lazy if you want, but have a look for yourself:
Processing is an open […]

Switzerland goes Widget crazy!

If you’re from Switzerland, like me, than I’m sure you already found out that there are tons of widgets made just for us, if not, than maybe now is the best time to visit Mac Prime because they have them all listed. If you’re interested in the weather, phone numbers, train infos, webcams, jobs … […]

Breaking file compatibility

If you’re writing a new version of an application, then one of the most important things you implement into the new version of the app is compatibility to the old apps files, at least for the main files. If you had a miss-conception in the old file structure, for example a security issue or just […]

The future of podcasting

Apple is currently pushing podcasting with the inclusion of the technology into iTunes. Daring Fireball has a long and great (as usual) article about it and iLounge has a well written beginner’s guide and an other one about the use of the feature in iTunes so you can go out and start to create your […]

The advantage of developing for OS X

There are about 12 million active Mac users according to Apple. Compared to PC users this is’nt a lot, but often pure numbers don’t tell the whole story and sometimes even the clear winner by numbers is’nt the best option for a software developer. Now how could that be? Om Malik from Business 2.0 has […]

It’s good to be dead!

Last year ZDnet declared Apple dead, just one of many instances where someone declared Apple as dead or soon to be dead. Recently some people again declared Apple as soon to be dead because they think the iPod will soon have reached market saturation and that without the iPods huge success, Apple would soon die, […]

Maelstrom aka Flash Player 8

Mac users did’nt have much luck with the rendering speed of the Macromedia Flash player the last few years. Petitions where started to change this sad fact, but for a long time nothing happened, but guess what? This time is now almost over! Macromedia has released the public beta of Maelstrom to the public and […]

Cyberduck ftp/sftp client

Ftp and sftp (secure ftp) clients are the apps used to access web servers as most of you will know. They don’t have to do much, but that doesn’t stop application developers from missing an important feature here and there. Not so Cyberduck by David Kocher. It fully integrates into key OS X technologies such […]

Quartz Compositions

What better to start the official posts of this blog than with something that almost anyone can try out (yeah, not only coders, your eyes are’nt fooling you). The app I’m speaking off came with Tiger. The app is part of the developer tools, so if you have’nt installed them, do it now, it will […]

Site restart happening … yeah, now!

Welcome to OS X Coder (rs). We are currently changing the whole site, so take care and come back later.
