Taking a Test Drive: Using TDD to Write an iOS App
by Graham Lee
Developers in communities as diverse as Smalltalk, Java and Ruby have been relying on unit tests to help them design their application code for decades. Objective-C developers have had IDE support for unit tests since before iOS existed, and yet very few app developers have adopted the test-driven way. In this talk, Graham discusses the benefits of test-driven development, busts a few myths and looks at real examples of TDD's application to ObjC code.

From Flash to iOS via Cocos2D
by Chris Wilson
I came to iOS development from flash and it wasn't long before I realised that UIKit
can only go so far when developing games. OpenGL ES gave fast low level access to
the graphics hardware but it came with a pretty steep learning curve. Fortunately I
discovered an early version of Cocos2d, a framework for building 2D games built on
top of openGL ES, its tagline is 'Fast, Free, Easy to use and community supported'.In the talk we'll cover;
• The main features of the framework.
• The tools available.
• Gotchas, avoiding the pain early on.
• What next for Cocos2D. -
