This is a guard that tracks down UIKit access on threads other than main. This snippet is taken from the commercial iOS PDF framework http://pspdfkit.com, but relicensed under MIT. Works because a lot of calls internally call setNeedsDisplay or setNeedsLayout. Won't catch everything, but it's very lightweight and usually does the job.You might n…

Declare on your main init that all other init methods should call. It's a nice additional semantic warning. Works with Xcode 5.1 and above. Not tested with earlier variants, but should just be ignored. A reference to this macro shortly appeared in https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/releasenotes/ObjectiveC/ModernizationObjC/AdoptingModernObj…

(outdated) Script for AutoHotkey to write german umlaute(ä, ö, ü) and eszett (ß) on US Keyboard on Windows like on MacOS
#NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.
!u::Return ; umlaut
!s::SendInput % "ß"
*u::umlaut("u","ü","Ü")
*a::umlaut("a","ä","Ä")

Accessing an API using CoreData's NSIncrementalStore

Accessing an API using CoreData's NSIncrementalStore

Note: the original location of this article is on my blog, however, it is posted here too for better readability.

In this article, we will see how to use Core Data for accessing your API. We will use the Bandcamp API as our running example. I've only been experimenting with this code for a few days, so there might be mistakes in there.
