So, I have been compiling a list of open source iOS apps out there, this list has been developed over a couple of months while on my quest to become a better developer. When  I started programming, I got advice from one veteran that the best way to learn is by looking at code that [...]

On Kenyan Tech Scene (mobile)

By Ed On March 24, 2012 · Add Comment
My experience trying to find my way around Kenya as a mobile developer has been wide and varied, but most of all, it has been a lonely one. Therefore, I decided to write about it, and see if any other tech minded guys out there face the same predicament similar to mine. The views here [...]

3..2..1 Launch

By Ed On March 23, 2012 · Add Comment
So I finally managed to ship another product to iTunes app store, yet another app to fill your ipad with, and yet another developer on the rant. As you can imagine I am feeling quite happy about it, it might not be my best work (yet) but its another piece in the making non-the-less. The [...]

Kenyan news reader

By Ed On March 1, 2012 · Add Comment
This is a continuation of the previous post (sort of). So after testing my prototype app for a whole day I realised that sometimes simplicity is appreciated more than extra-complex user interfaces. So I went back to the drawing board and completely redesigned the app, I went the whole 100 yards, I mean pencils, paper [...]

On Holiday, take 2

By Ed On February 27, 2012 · Add Comment
Over the past few weeks I decided it would be wise to learn a new programming language(while still on holiday), but I wanted something different from what I have come across before c, c++, java, objective c, see the trend? So the natural decision was to pick up a web development framework and Ruby on Rails was a clear winner, PHP came close and I even read half a page of Python, before I remember that I was taught this same language in first year and nearly failed the module!

My Thoughts on RoR: take 1

By Ed On February 20, 2012 · Add Comment
So for the past couple of weeks (3 to be precise) I decided to see what all this noise is about concerning Ruby on Rails, therefore I decided to give it a shot and see it for myself. The fact that nearly half the startups out there base their first products on this framework seems [...]

So out of curiosity I decided to look for a local job in Kenya which fits my specified skills set. As it would happen, the first place to look for these kind of jobs would be on the internet, the premise being that any tech guy would be making full use of this tool, in a [...]

On Holiday

By Ed On February 8, 2012 · Add Comment
Ok, so I have been on holiday for a week or so. But instead of enjoying the african sun and taking safaris, I have been busy pimping up my Objective-c know how. While on my 10 hour journey from the UK I realized just how much I love reading XKCD, so what did i do? [...]

A fortran joke

By Ed On January 17, 2012 · Add Comment
Today I read quite a humorous post, it went like “The primary purpose of the DATA statement is to give names to constants; instead of referring to pi as 3.141592653589793 at every appearance, the variable PI can be given that value with a DATA statement and used instead of the longer form of the constant. This also [...]

On Critically stupid mistakes

By Ed On January 12, 2012 · Add Comment
The other day i fixed a bug in my app since it had been brought to my attention that the app was crashing at launch. I regard this as the worst kind of un-handled exception. So i managed to get the app to the app store in record time (48 hours between submitting and appearing [...]
