Because of the recent announcement of the iPad 2 more people are going to want to learn how to develop for the iPhone OS. I recently purchased an iPad 2 3G with o2, so far the broadband has been flawless.

This tutorial will be a basic walk-through for beginners who want to start developing.

The application that we will be creating will consist of two button and one label.

Create a new project

First of all open Xcode and click "Create a new Xcode project". Select View-based Application and then iPad as the product.

Save the project as Tutorial.

Outlets and Actions

For things such as labels and textfields we use IBOutlets and for buttons we use IBActions. IB stands for Interface Builder and is what we will use to create our interface and link the connections.

To add our outlets and actions open up TutorialViewController.h.

Under @interface TutorialViewController : UIViewController { add:

IBOutlet UILabel *currentNumber;

Then before @end add:

-(IBAction)incrementNumber:(id)sender;
-(IBAction)decrementNumber:(id)sender;

Save TutorialViewController.h.

Create the interface and make connections

Open up TutorialViewController.xib. From the library drag one labels and two buttons.

Control + click the File's Owner object and drag it to the label then select currentNumber; now go from the minus and plus button to the File's Owner object and select decrementNumber for the minus button and incrementNumber for the plus button.

Save TutorialViewController.xib and close Interface Builder.

The Code

Open TutorialViewController.m. Below the implementation we need to create an integer called number and set the value to 0.

int number = 0;

We now need to create methods for when the increment and decrement buttons are pressed.
When the increment button is pressed we will increment the number integer by 1 then set the value of currentNumber to number by using a formatted string.

-(IBAction)incrementNumber:(id)sender {
	number++;
	[currentNumber setText:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", number]];
}

and for decrement its the same but we decrement the number integer by 1.

-(IBAction)decrementNumber:(id)sender {
	number-;
	[currentNumber setText:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", number]];
}

Build and Run

Press the Build and Run button (command + return) and your app will compile then open.

In your web hosting account, there is what you call the cPanel, short for Control Panel. This is where you will have access to everything you need to build your website and upload any necessary information and data. If you are a beginner to webhosting and cpanel use, then you should familiarize yourself with the cpanel before you start creating your website. This will allow you to be more efficient when it comes to making any changes to your site.

Designing, internet hosting, and managing a website can be a challenging course of for individuals who want such a web site, but have never earlier than hosted one on the Internet. To assist in this process, making it smoother, extra intuitive, and more accessible for the potential web site owner, a management panel program named cPanel (based mostly on Unix) is now provided by some internet hosts as part of the hosting package. This system is written and marketed by an organization of the same name.

cPanel has a number of different units of controls, all of that are usable by way of any normal net browser. The controls included are those for resellers (who're buying the website area from an information heart and re-renting it to finish users), directors, and precise web site owners. The controls make modifying and administering the web site far simpler by automating some processes, and offering a graphical management interface that is intuitive and easy to recollect, slightly than command or scripting prompts.

The cPanel program supports lots of the functions utilized in building and sustaining web sites, similar to MySQL, PHP, Apache, Perl, and Bind. It additionally incorporates e-mail functionalities like POP3, SMTP, and IMAP. There are additionally many add-ons which can be used to allow support of other functions for website construction and administration - though these add-ons have to be bought from the cPanel company, and aren't obtainable as free downloads as so many add-ons are.

Hosting with cPanel gives those who are not highly expert in web site management a transparent, simple, intuitive interface that makes their efforts much smoother and more successful. Velocity of internet hosting and maintaining the web site are each elevated drastically by cPanel, especially since it should reduce the variety of calls that must be made to technical support. The interface consists of tutorial movies for the extra complicated operations, in addition to an on-display screen assist function, providing you with higher independence from tech help folks and saving certainly one of your most worthy sources - time.

As you can see, your cPanel controls most of your website and you need to be able to manage it in effective way. There are many things like scripts and add-ons that you need to be aware of. This way, when you decide to make changes to anything on your website whether it be design or coding, you are efficient with your time instead of trying to look up how to do something in your cPanel account hosting provider.

For the past few weeks when I've tried to move a file to the trash I've been presented with a dialog box similar to the one above. Then it seemed like it wasn't going away and got rather annoying so I decided to look into it.

When you get this error the permissions for the ~/.Trash file have been changed.

How to solve it

To solve this problem open up Terminal and type in

sudo chmod 777 ~/.Trash

This should return Trash to the way it is meant to be.

Twitter is one of the biggest websites in social media and is only going to grow bigger. I've been on Twitter for a few years now and have learned a few tips to help grow your following and be more influential.

Follow

Following other people can increase your following because they may follow you back. Not everyone will follow you back but a good majority of people will.

Reply

If someone sends you an @ reply always make sure to reply to it. If you don't reply to them but are replying to other people then they may get fed up and unfollow you. Also send an @ reply to random people if they ask a question and they may return the favor to you by following.

Email

A good method to pick up new followers is when you email somebody always have a link to your Twitter account, if the person you are emailing is on Twitter they may follow you.

Website

It is always a good thing to link to your Twitter account from your website or blog. People who like what you write about can see where you are most of the time and it also allows them to connect with you.

Business

If you have a business card then it'd be great to include your Twitter username because this allows for people to easily re-connect with you.

Comments

When posting a comment on a blog, instead of posting a link to your website, why not link to your Twitter profile? This will increase the visibility of your Twitter profile on the internet and will probably result in more followers.

Follow Back

If somebody follows you and they are not a bot then return the follow and see how you can connect with that person in different ways to build a relationship.

Clothing

If you want to really increase the visibility of your Twitter account in the real world then why not get a shirt or any other kind of clothing printed with your Twitter username, you never know how many followers you may be walking passed each day.

ReTweet

Retweeting people's links is a great way to get them to follow you, if somebody Retweets a link of mine and I am not following them, I will follow them as a way of saying thanks.

All us Mac OS X users know that it can sometimes get confusing and be hard to concentrate when we have a lot of windows open. To prevent this confusion we can use Isolator. With Isolator you can activate it and disable it as you like by click the icon in the menubar or using the shortcut key command + I.

Isolator allows you to concentrate on the frontmost window and you can either blur the other windows in the background or overlay another color.

Isolator is a Mac OS X only application and is free.

You can find more information and download it from here

Secondbar

If there is one of very few problems about Mac OS X, then a menubar not being visible on a secondary monitor when you connect another display to your Mac is certainly one of those problems.

I recently stumbled across Secondbar while browsing about the internet. It is such a useful tool and I will be using it constantly now that I've found it, just so I don't have to bother pointing over to the primary monitor when using dual displays just to access the menubar.

Let us know!

If you know of any other utilities that make the workflow of a Mac, Windows or Linux machine even better then post a comment to let us know.

If you found this useful then please tweet this and share it with your followers

So you’ve successfully created a design for your website… the next question is, where to actually host it. It’s often debatable on which is the best among the many web hosting providers around whether free or paid. Well, it’s really pretty simple why – because it usually depends on different factors such as, what type of website you plan on creating and its needs. There are many offers lying around which easily confuse webmasters which one is the best for them and their site. But whether you’re making a personal or business website, uptime and reliability from a web hosting provider is always important.

Doteasy is among the leading web hosting companies that started since 2000. They also provide domain name registration services with over 160,000 domain users already. If you haven’t registered any name yet for your website, this would be the perfect time to do so. This is because Doteasy have a promo right now that lets youregister any domain name like a .com,.net, .org for only $7.95. And aside from that, you already get a free web hosting package with a lot of useful web tools and applications that you could use for your website such as for creating a blog, forum, shopping cart and many more. Their packages are also great with small businesses websites. They also guarantee 99.9% uptime. And what’s even great about their free hosting plan is that they guarantee no ads on your site. Unlike with other free web hosts who put a lot of annoying ads on the free hosting package they provide in exchange for the free service. And if you feel you need more hosting resources for your website, you can just easily upgrade your free hosting account to one of their other packages. You can check out their other hosting plan such as their unlimited web hosting which is only for $9.95 per month. That’s still a really great deal.

If you like to take advantage of their current domain name registration promotion, just use the coupon code 1003BPM to register a domain.
