(Highly geeky post ahead. You’ve been warned!)
I have found the very message that summarizes the beauty of Cocoa in a single word; see by yourselves, hereunder in line 47:
#import
// The interface of a person
@interface Person : NSObject {
NSString* firstName;
NSString* lastName;
int age;
}
@end
// The [...]

In the series of highly boring posts ;) here’s another one; in this case, a simple explanation of two different authentication protocols available in the HTTP standard.
HTTP Basic Authentication Protocol
This is the simplest HTTP Authentication protocol available:
The browser sends a request to a protected resource: GET /index.html
The server looks for the “Authenticated” header [...]

I find many similarities between an event like WWDC and a similar one I’ve attended at Redmond long ago; both are big (huge!) events, with thousands of (men) engineers from around the world (and very few women), with a keynote by the founder, lots of events every morning and afternoon, and merchandasing stuff all over [...]

Pourquoi ne peut-on pas avoir des conférences comme celle-ci, avec des mini-events comme celui-ci en parallèle en Romandie? Ou encore comme celle-ci? Ou bien comme cette autre! Ou celle-là!
Pourquoi pas? Est-ce que le marché est trop petit? Y a-t-il un manque d’intérêt général? Je pense que le problème est [...]

Many companies, at some point of their history, ask themselves a simple question: what programming language should I use? The answer to this question is tricky, and has big, big consequences, for every single line of code of your future products will be written, read and suffered by it. This single choice defines the level [...]

A comment at the bottom of his own lengthy but otherwise interesting article:
One more important point: I’m surprised that some people seem to think I’m implying some programming studliness from my little 3-day excursion. Not so: any first-year college student or intern, or heck, self-taught dude in his basement, could have done exactly what I [...]

the word “symbol” is the result of the union of “syn” (I think this is how you write it) which means something like “together” (syn-chronic, which means at the same time, I suppose syn-thesis, etc) and “bol” which, as far as I understand, is related to the action of throwing (I do not [...]

Just a quick post to announce that I will be speaking next Saturday at the second Barcamp Lausanne. My topic?
What happened to those nice words called “Software Quality”? A grumpy developer’s perspective.
Feel free to come! I’d love to meet you there.

Generics in JavaScript.
Who came up with this? Let’s put things in context: JavaScript is a dynamic language. It turns out that this characteristics deeply upsets many people, particularly those who prefer to rely on a compiler to check their code for them before running it. It turns out that these guys also have a hard [...]
