The time has come to once again for the Beginning iOS Development Workshop. This time it’s actually in central Stockholm instead of out in Norrtälje, so those of you who don’t want to ride that bus are in luck!
It takes place September 18-20. Details are here. I hope to see you there!

I’m proud to have been a part of Toca Boca’s infancy, and working on some of the greatest kids’ apps the world has ever seen has been fantastic fun, but a few months ago I decided to move on, and today was my final work day at Toca Boca.
I’ve had plenty of job offers during my time at Toca Boca, so what’s the new shiny that finally caught my eye and pulled me away? None other than thoughtbot, whose work I’ve admired for years. They’ve built a solid reputation in the Ruby world, and are expanding their repertoire to include native iOS development, which is where I fit in. My long history with iOS technologies, along with the books and training I’ve been doing for several years, seem to be a good fit for where thoughtbot is going, and the new office in Stockholm is right where I want to be. The team has welcomed me with open arms, and I’m looking forward to working with this extremely bright, hardworking crew!
So, anyone who needs some iOS app development services in Stockholm, or anywhere else for that matter: Get in touch!

If you haven’t done so yourself, you should check it out, because it presents a pretty nice way of constructing a pair of view controllers that give the user access to a list of Core Data objects.

How about running some iOS developer training here in Stockholm, to help newcomers get up to speed with Objective-C, Xcode, and the iOS SDK? This sort of thing has been done successfully in other parts of Europe and in the U.S., but really hasn’t been tried much here as far as I know.
