34: Headphone Jackless With a Baby Bump Battery Case

The title of this episode sounds like a Beck lyric, no? Odelay! This week the guys have some fun with the number 34. Bill mentions Hour of Code, and Computer Science Education Week, although he knows NOTHING about it, when it is, or what is involved. In Apple news the fellas debate the rumor of Apple removing the headphone jack and using the lightening port for audio. There is also discussion of the ugly new battery case from Apple.

It’s the Thanksgiving Episode! There’s talk of food comas, feeling dead & bloated, burning down houses with deep fried turkey, and all sorts of holiday cheer!

Technical talk is a brief mention of our screencast on Xcode Behaviors and over all efficiency when working in Xcode. Watch the screencast on YouTube!

31: Developers of Autumn Twilight

The talk this week immediately takes a tangent into fantasy fiction of the 1980’s, followed by cheesy 80’s television. The “real” talk settles on the iPad Pro, the availability of the Apple Pencil, and what the guys recorded in a screencast of Marc helping Bill troubleshoot some application bugs.

28: Varidation Strategery and Angry Diffs

This episode is both totally new and totally late! This is our first test of doing a screencast. Watch Marc help refactor part of Bill’s application. This is like Xcode reality TV and the boys do away with Bill’s gross use of global variables (gasp!)

27: Certified Refurb

It could be the Halloween episode! This week’s number reference is a bit morbid. Marc follows up with an iPhone 6s+ status report. The guys talk about buying refurbished Apple devices vs Windows PC vs Hackintosh. The coding discussion touches briefly on the CLGeocoder and CLPlacemarks classes used to reverse geocode and get thoroughfare/street information.
