Delegation, an important concept in iOS development

July 30, 2010

UPDATE: See my other post for some more up to date links on Protocols and Delegation in iOS.

https://daytonpruet.com/2012/04/25/great-blog-posts-on-protocols-and-delegation/

Original Post:
One thing that had me confused when I was first learning iOS application development was how delegates worked, how you used and coded them. After several iOS application development books and friends explaining it, I have the concept down, at least I think I do. It is an important concept to know, especially with the iOS platform. Apple has a short article with an example of how delegating works, with links to other reference to read more.

Faster Than the Wind

July 29, 2010

I came across an article about this kart and I am amazed at how this works.

The kart is designed to travel downwind and is powered by the wind. But, the kart eventually reaches a point it is traveling the same speed as the wind, and it keeps going and starts traveling faster than the wind. It has been recorded going as fast as 3.5x the speed of the wind.
