Likely my favorite iPhone Dev book has been updated and a 2nd Edition has been released. The Big Nerd Ranch books name was appropriately updated from iPhone Programming to iOS Programming.

Not really a iOS specific programming book, but Stephen Kochan’s book has been updated and a 3rd Edition has been released.

I gave an Intro to F# development presentation at the Carolina Code Camp in Charlotte NC today. The first part of my presentation covered many of the concepts from the F# Tutorial Project you can create from File > New > Project > F# in Visual Studio. The second part of my presentation was the stock ticker demo from the Channel9 video below.

Microsoft has a Rock Paper Azure Challenge setup. There is a bot .Net solution you can download to get started in the challenge. This solution has 3 different projects, which are VB, one C# and F#. So, you can code in your language of choice, and it is good to see F# get some love.

If you play a game like Infinity Blade and have been playing for a long time and built up a great character on your iPad. There is a way to transfer this character to another device, like an iPad 2. You can also use these instructions to make a backup of your character files.
You basically need to use an application like the free app iPhone Browser, and copy the settings file to the new device.
1. Install game on the new device.
2. Install iPhone Browser on your Mac/PC.
3. Copy the settings file from the old device to your desktop (see link below).
4. Replace the settings file on the new device with the file you copied.

Good luck and enjoy.

I just finished watching this video on F# development from PDC 2008, and it was great. And as far as software coding presentations go, it was quite entertaining. The presenter has a great sense of humor.

A friend of mine asked me about this issue they found with their iPhone. They told me that they could make a phone call to any phone number from their iPhone even though it was locked and the screen was off. Just do a long press on the Home button and the Voice Dial pops up. And, low and behold, after a few tries we were making phone calls. I even noticed that it would show names of people that were in the contacts on the phone.
We found the setting to turn this on and off, and we seem to think this is enabled by default.
Go to – Settings > General > Passcode
There is a Voice Dial option on this screen, which turns this feature ON and OFF.
