Useful materials for mobile developer # 65 (August 4-10)
This week, we learned how to become an Xcode ninja, were indignant at Google Play policies, examined alternatives to it, learned how to make prototypes and build a tablet in a car. Mobile development does not stop even in hot August!

I left the DARPA office in a little haze. Maybe it was the summer heat, or maybe four hours of talk about the war. In any case, I turned the wrong way and could not find the way home. So, as I do every day, I reached into my pocket and felt the comfort of my own smartphone with Google maps, text messages and dumb puzzle games.
