OmniGraffle for designing App

We found a great way to develop nice screen designs for the App how it could look like. There are different templates that can be imported into OmniGraffle to use the iPhone Components to design.

So check it out:

Subversion and Xcode

I figured out how to integrate SVN into Xcode. First I created a SVN repository with Google Code: http://code.google.com/

After that I followed this tutorial to integrate my SVN Rep into Xcode:

http://www.sodeso.nl/?p=599

After once completed Step 1 + 2, other team members can start with Step 3. Make sure that no Build Files are generated into the SVN folder. For that purpose change your project settings as shown in Step 1 of the tutorial.

After successfully integrating, you can access the well known functions (Update, Commit) in the menu item 'SCM'. There is "Update Entire Project", "Commit Entire Project" and "Refresh Entire Project". Normal workflow should be Update, Commit, Update, Refresh.

If you want to add a new file, right click on the file and 'Add to Repository'.

On the left window, where you see your files, if you right click on "Group & Files" you can enable "SCM" and you will see which files you changed.

If you want to be informed about what is going on in a Commit or Update, choose SCM > SCM Results.

But be prewarned, if you know Eclipse and SVN Integration, don't start to compare!!

You need to watch this!

Ever heard of "Rémi Caillard"? He's a french guy who is making some funny videos. Probably they're not famous in New Zealand already, but watch it! Here are just two funny examples.

Is this called a white board or wouldn't be black board more suitable?

Working as a distributed team

Hello again

in order to have files shared amongst us I strongly recommend you to download Dropbox, if you don't have it already (http://www.dropbox.com/).

It is a software which allows to share folders to selected people. It will automatically synchronize it with everyone's laptop. This means if you place a file into this folder, it will automatically upload it and it will be synchronized on all PCs where this folder exists. Also if you change a file.

This is the easiest way to share files in a group work. It is probably really slow at UNITEC, but I'm sure you have faster Internet at home.

We use Dropbox for e.g. our documentation, development plan, design, whatever documents we have to create.

I will create the necessary folder and will invite you afterwards.

So, let's get started then!
