Hi, I'm looking to create an interface where the user can navigate through large volumes of images. Each image has a thumbnail of 128x128 that I wish to display and will be kind of similar to coverflow in operation.

Dealing with the lack of closures in Objective-C

Maybe it's just the fact that I've been using http://nodejs.org/ lately, but the lack of closures in Objective-C (iphone) has been really hard to work around. For example, I'm creating service classes. Each service class can have several methods, each of which makes a different URL request. I can use the delegate pattern, but that mean...

In the nib for my TableViewController, I see the TableView (with its example values of California cities) but I'm able to drop any other UI elements on it (for example an UILabel). I can add a UIWindow which gives me a separate window to add st...
