This is just a quick post to let everyone know that Apple has finally approved Movie Genie yesterday night and it is now available on the iTunes Store. Contrary to what I expected, the approval process was painless, and Apple did a very good job of reviewing the app for possible defects.
I hope that people will enjoy this first app, I am very excited to be building on this platform. If you have any suggestions or comments, feel free to email me or leave your thoughts here.
I haven’t been blogging much lately, but I do have a good excuse this time. Last month, I decided to finally start learning Objective-C and getting into iPhone & Mac development. Being a Mac user for 18 years now, developing on the platform has been one of my dreams.
Today, I am happy to announce my first iPhone app, Movie Genie - a mobile IMDb client. It’s open for beta testing at this point, and I welcome everyone interested in trying it out and giving feedback.
I just found out about this Django application called django-rosetta that uses the Google AJAX Language API to suggest translations for translatable strings in your project. Even more interesting is the admin-like interface it creates to enter translations directly from a browser - and it doesn’t need any database tables, everything is directly written to translation files. I didn’t try it out yet, but if it works as advertised, it could become one of my default applications.
Tonight was the latest in a series of get togethers among Django developers in the Toronto area. We have been doing these for the past few months, since October 2008, and even though our numbers haven’t grown much, I am pretty sure there are other Djangonauts in Toronto who would be interested. We are planning to do monthly scheduled meetings with proper presentations at the Linux Caffe first Wednesday of every month. So join the mailing list and let’s start organizing!
For the past few months, I have been trying out the different schema migration tools for Django. At first, the obvious choice seemed like django-evolution. It was the oldest and the most mature project, and after watching the schema evolution panel from DjangoCon 2008, it was also the one that made most sense in terms of architecture. After working with django-evolution in a few projects though, I found that it did not work well in practice. I have recently been testing South, and it seems like the better choice.
