Hi there. My name is Collin Ruffenach and I am going to be posting several new iCodeBlog Screencasts in the next few weeks. I have been an avid Apple user for the last 5 years and for the last 3 have really focused on improving my Objective C/Cocoa Skills. I am currently working on several application to be released in the store with the iPhone 3.0 software. Currently I am a Masters CS student at Arizona State University working on several iPhone development projects for varying studies around the university.
Long time readers may remember a post I did back in October of last year. I was still fairly new to the SDK then and now have the skills required to make many screencasts on varying topics and tailored to many skill levels. I am going to be implementing something new in my posts to dictate the difficulty of a screencast. With the first minute you will see an overview of the skills needed to get through the screencast. I have several in mind, including a few dealing with API’s made available within the 3.0 SDK. These lessons will be posted as soon as the NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) is removed on the 3.0 software.
My first post will be coming in the next few days, but anyone with requests for screencast topics please post them here. I will pick some I think I can do and get them up for you guys in the next few weeks. Also if please use the commenting systems on the screencasts, I read every comment and really try to focus on any pointed out problems. Thanks, you’ll be seeing some stuff from me soon.

Sweet – looking forward to it!
nice – will definitely stop by more frequently
Great. I have been struggling with the pattern. The more examples I can see, the better.
Great!
Regarding topics – I’d like to see explanations and methods on switching (navigating) between iPhone views (subviews?). For example, is it better to create view on top of other view (or maybe that’s the only way?) or destroy one and create other? How to pass variables between them (best way), how that apply to different controller types like navigation controllers, etc.
Hi, I would greatly appreciate if you could do a tutorial on how to get your app to detect internet connection and if not connected to the internet it would warn you in a pop-up! I just got my app rejected from the app store because of this!
Hey, I was wondering if I you could do a cocos2d tutorial. There is a huge demand for these!
I would love to see a tutorial on how to customize the look and feel of the UITableView. For example to make the UITableView Groups look like a piece of pager with the record’s information in it.
I would like to have a tutorial which teaches how to calculate the area filled by a path in Quartz. Like you draw a rect by dragging on screen and a value shows the updates area.
This is easy for a rect but what about a closed shape made with several line segments put together?
Hmmm. I would love to see a tutorial on a Mario style game. And some other retro and simple games!
hi, i would like to advertise on your blog / site. please contact me by email. thanks. i could not find you email anywhere on the site or whois db. thanks.

As written by Hnotic earlier, I’d also like to see explanations and methods on switching (navigating) between iPhone views (subviews?).
Actually I am having problem in switching between one view to another and then again to the third view and so on..
Adding subviews causes memory issues. So please explain how to navigate between views destroying the last shown view.
