App Development Hints & Tips

If there is a chance you may need to produce your app for several different languages start your localisation from the outset. Adding NSLocalizedString() to every output text as you write it is a lot easier than having to trawl through all of the code once it is completed.

For more localisation assistance check out the
Apple documentation.

Having had some contact with the North West region as well, I am aware of a reasonable number of telecoms companies, large and small, in that area too. But what about here in the Midlands? Is the demographic different here? Are more people employed in roles outside of the technology arena? Is there less interest in technology here?
