I was wondering if programming languages and frameworks get updated in small increments or are they just x.0 releases? And if they do how do you keep up on all the changes in every update? I am specifically interested in Objective-C and Cocoa and CocoaTouch. I'm learning from books and online PDF's etc, but often they are at best a few ...
I'm working on an open source script. I would like to provide a feature to extend the script by use of plugins/modules. I need some recommendations on open source cms/scripts to study code from, to gather the best practices on making script extendable by plugins.

Map Reduce is a pattern that seems to get a lot of traction lately and I start to see it manifest in one of my projects that is focused on an event processing pipeline (iPhone Accelerometer and GPS data). I needed to built a lot of infrastructure for this project, in fact it overweighs the logic code interacting with it by 2x. Some of th...
I'm in urgent need of an Objective-C/Cocoa/Cocoa Touch framework to handle simple charting; pie chards, histograms etc. The only thing that comes close is: http://code.google.com/p/gchart-objc/ But it seems to be quite an early release and not maintained. Has anyone created or used such a framework or library. ...

Most people use some kind of an IoC framework - Guice, Spring, you name it. Many of us need to scale their applications too, so they complicate their lifes with Terracotta, Glassfish/JBoss/insertyourfavouritehere clusters. But is it really the way to go? Are you using any of the above? Here's some ideas we currently have implemented in...
Hi guys, I want to override the validation_errors() method of the form helper in CodeIgniter for one controller only, so that it will display a single error message (as a sentence in plain english) instead of the detailed line item summary. I've tried defining a validation_errors() function in my controller, which is what I usually do w...

Hello, I'm working with the very-useful ID3 framework in my cocoa project. There's one tiny thing I'd like to modify in it, but I can't seem to get the changes I've made to apply to the built framework. The source code provided with the framework comes with an Xcode project, so I've opened that up and for testings sake put an NSLog(@"h...

The name of the framework is LogTest Heres the code to my app that uses the frame...
I am doing iPhone development and what I want is a custom map framework (not route-me, not Google Maps). So far I found CATiledLayer and UISCrollView are helpful. But I am still not clear about the stuff(any kind of view, or anything from CoreAnimation framework, or anything else?) which would be perfectly fit this. So far I've just mad...

There seem to be several different categories of web frameworks, e.g. MVC, component based, event-driven, action-based, etc. I can't find a comprehensive list of categories and definitions anywhere. (I dare not ask for examples as well.) Is there a general taxonomy of web application frameworks somewhere, or is this too fuzzy a questi...
