How To: Create Custom Objects in iOS Apps

Hey guys. Another noobies tutorial!!!!! First, an intro. My latest app just been approved by Apple so I guess I will write about that (HA!! :P) The app is called QuikFlix. It is a movie database app. I made the app because I needed it. I was always trying to find old movies that I want to watch. For example, particularly, I wanted to find top/popular comedy movies in 2013. How do you go about finding that? Google works I guess. But navigating in browser really sucks. So I created QuikFlix with all the features that I WANT: Search movies by Genre, Year and Popularity. Plus, I added main casts list in there with movie synopsis. And you can easily see photo of the cast by tapping on their name. AND I also create a simple WishList so you can add movies you want to watch in this list. AND!!! I also added theme color. It is free app check it out here:

I used TheMovieDB.com public API for this app. Their API is really good in my opinion. You can do a lot more actually (like have user accounts, rating ability).

Anyway intro finished, Lets begin tutorial. :D Here is what we're gonna make:



Cool huh? Btw, the more accurate title for this tutorial is "How to Subclass / Inherit an Object", but those words are intimidating aren't they? What does subclass means?

How To: Using SLRequest to Upload Image or Video To Twitter

Hi guys what's up. This is a simple tutorial so it doesn't have any downloadable project.

Today I'd like to share with you how to upload an image (like JPEG or GIF animation) to Twitter from the iOS app.

For a normal JPEG and status upload, you can use SLComposeViewController but you will face problem if you want to upload GIF animation or video file. That is because SLComposeViewController only has "addImage" method that takes up a UIImage object.
