This is fantastic, in many ways -- languages will change, platforms will go out of style, but if you know the theory, you'll be fine no matter what direction the profession takes. There are, however, certain things that this type… Continue reading Things Most CS Students Don’t Learn in School — But Should

For instance, working with JSON frequently means you probably use NSJSONSerialization, and you may note that if a JSON key returns null, it will be put into the… Continue reading Obj-C Convenience Categories
The RainbowCube is an Rainbowduino compatible 4x4x4 grid of LEDs. In this post I'll cover how to use it to keep track of your internet connection, and response times of sites you care about. Overview This project has two parts: a computer (perhaps a raspberry pi?) to perform the actual web requests, and the RainbowCube… Continue reading Availability Monitoring with a RainbowCube
