Objective-C Coding Convention and Best Practices

Most of these guidelines are to match Apple's documentation and community-accepted best practices. Some are derived some personal preference. This document aims to set a standard way of doing things so everyone can do things the same way. If there is something you are not particularly fond of, it is encouraged to do it anyway to be consistent with everyone else.

This document is mainly targeted toward iOS development, but definitely applies to Mac as well.

Operators

NSString *foo = @"bar";

Launch Sublime Text 2 from the Mac OS X Terminal

Launch Sublime Text 2 from the Mac OS X Terminal

Sublime Text 2 ships with a CLI called subl (why not "sublime", go figure). This utility is hidden in the following folder (assuming you installed Sublime in /Applications like normal folk. If this following line opens Sublime Text for you, then bingo, you're ready.

open /Applications/Sublime\ Text\ 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl

You can find more (official) details about subl here: http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/2/osx_command_line.html

IB is awful. Take the following scenario:

Say you want to make a view, MyView. You make MyView.h, MyView.m, and MyView.xib.

You add a button to the view with an outlet and an action and implement that in your class.

Now, say you want to use MyView in another class without the button. You add it, launch, and it crashes. You didn't add the outlet, so you get a KVO error. Crap. You add useless code so it will launch. Ugh.

Now, you add some new functionality at the last minute to your awesome MyView to do other stuff. Launch and test it in your second spot. All is good. A few days, later you get a rejection email from Apple. Wha?! Oh, you didn't test you updated my view in the first spot, which is now crashing because you renamed something or added a new outlet.

Hi David,
I came across your profile online and wanted to reach out about Development
Opportunities here at Groupon. The company is growing, and we're always
looking for folks with solid skills that can make positive contribution to
our continued success. Any chance you'd be open to a quick conversation
about opportunities, or for any possible networking potential? If so, let me
know when you're free and we can set up a time to chat. Also, if you are
interested, it would be great if you could forward a current resume over
that I can take a look at. I look forward to hearing back from you! Please
let me know if you have any questions.

Great UIImage Resize Method
// Resizes the image according to the given content mode, taking into account the image's orientation
- (UIImage *)resizedImageWithContentMode:(UIViewContentMode)contentMode imageToScale:(UIImage*)imageToScale bounds:(CGSize)bounds interpolationQuality:(CGInterpolationQuality)quality {
//Get the size we want to scale it to
CGFloat horizontalRatio = bounds.width / imageToScale.size.width;
CGFloat verticalRatio = bounds.height / imageToScale.size.height;
CGFloat ratio;
switch (contentMode) {
case UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFill:
ratio = MAX(horizontalRatio, verticalRatio);
