iBlogger for iPhone

Just bought iBlogger for iPhone...just to check out. It's nice to be able to do yet one more thing from the iPhone. I am trying out a few applications and will report soon from the ones I really use. The main one is Things, and I tried quite a few games during my vacations..some really good...some not so. Well, I am writing this from iBlogger and will check out the features it offers. Let's see if I manage to include a photo...

Mobile Blogging from here.

No, that first link was to add my location...would be nice if it was like in twitterific. Looking at their website and not hint there either. Found their forum and it seems that other users have the same issue.


I found a review online stating that posting photos to Blogger.com, which I use, is not yet supported. But that review was on ars tecnica from September 2008. And 10 month later iBlogger didn't add that feature yet. Please let me know if I am wrong. This would be a killer feature...but without that, iBlogger seems to work fine...but is just not as exciting. And while you are at it add video blogging support for the 3GS.

The iPhone Developer's Cookbook - first impression.

The iPhone Developer's Cookbook
from Erica Sadun

This is a great book which as the name highlights is a sum of recipes that explain various aspects of the application. I am today at the http://pragmaticstudio.com/iphone/ training and are using Erica's book to find several answers to questions we are challenged with during the labs. It's a great book when you start iPhone development as time over time you will be faced with the question "how do they do that?" and thanks to the books organization it's straight forward to find the answers. In addition the book comes with extensive code sample which you can check out as well as "videos" of the application that you will build. The book has also a recipe on accessing SQLLite that also cover FMDB one of the SQLLite wrappers (http://code.google.com/p/flycode/source/browse/trunk/fmdb). Note the FMDB coverage is not in depth. In short it's a must have if you get started with iPhone development.
