## ios-bootcamp-resources
One thing I haven't seen mentioned is Dave Verwer's iOS Weekly: http://iosdevweekly.com/. I like this newsletter a lot, even though I've usually seen the links by the time it comes out it often reminds me I want to bookmark them.

Blogs:
- Matt Gemmell's blog - Matt is a brilliant UI/UX evangelist with incredible wit (@mattgemmell)
- Mike Ash's Friday Q&A - Mostly nitty-gritties, but incredibly helpful (@mikeash)
- Cocoa, With Love (Matt Gallagher) - opinion pieces and how-tos, mostly (@mattgallagher)
- Cocoa Is My Girlfriend (Marcus Zarra and Matt Long) - Core Data and Core Animation experts (@mzarra and @perlmunger)
- Daring Fireball (John Gruber) - Witty and enlightening tech punditry (@gruber)
- Apple Outsíder (Matt Drance) - Pundit, developer. Infrequent but profound updates. (@drance)
- Ole Begemann: iOS Development - Developer with terrific monthly roundups of important links/resources (@olebegemann)

Don't forget to check out the Seattle Xcoders! They're a group that meets regularly to discuss projects, learn new techniques and APIs, and also to simply network with other Seattle-area Mac/iOS devs.

Frameworks / Code / Tools:
- RegexKitLite - a set of categories on NSString and NSArray that add regular expressions functionality out the wazoo
- Cocos2D - a 2D animation framework that wraps OpenGL to make animation easy. Ideal for games.
- Accessorizer - a tool for writing repetitive / canned code. Steep learning curve, but makes coding quicker once you learn to use it.
- DTerm - a free single-line terminal entry point. Set a global keyboard shortcut for a location-sensitive commandline.
- TextExpander - how I made all those quick snippets during lecture. Super-handy for system-wide snippet expansion. Let me know if you'd like me to send you my snippets file.
- TotalFinder - commercial app that adds tabbed browsing and other cool functionality to Finder.
- CocoaControls.com - A site that indexes and lists an enormous library of custom controls/widgets that people have made, with a variety of licenses from public domain to commercial.

I've been emailing my students some extra reading links, this is where it started:

Useful gitignore templates for various languages:

NSHipster has some fantastic content, but sometimes things they cover are pretty esoteric. Their latest article, however, is about something everybody should use: NSLocalizedString:
