In our first Auto Layout post, we built the skeleton of a UITabBar using Auto Layout
Adding the labels

The beginning
My first contact with open-source was the same as it is for most people: using open-source projects. I’m too curious to stop at that. I wanted to know how these projects I’ve been using were written and which architecture and patterns they use. I wanted to debug its code so I could both use them better and learn to write my own software better. Open-source software allows me to legally look under the hood and read its source…

To say bowling is a big part of Kyah Surritte’s life is an understatement — the Bonner Springs Elementary School fifth grader lives, eats and breathes the sport
“I like the concept of having fun in bowling and trying to meet new people,” she says. “I like to bowling with sisters and try to teach them how I bowl, but I know they have their way of bowling. Ever since my dad took me to bowling, I’ve just loved it from that day…

The web ads tend to bed more intrusive and outside the UX, more irrelevant, and more malware like
I don't like those apps either, but the UI is definitely better.
I'm not sure why Firefox just doesn't build adblocking into the browser as a first class feature - maybe because they rely on the Google funding?

I also read this site daily and I can't even comprehend most of the posts. I didn't figure out what I wanted to do with my life until recently, so now I'm 22 and stuck behind my younger…

I Pass It on to You
I had a vision of my Master. Master came to me after his departure from the physical plane. The message he gave me, "I'm always with you, Vishnu Swamiji," has kept Master literally with me wherever I go. I was almost shot by Israelis and Egyptians in the most dangerous situation. Somehow, mysteriously, he was there to help me. All that I'm doing now is not by my power. I don't have the strength. Yet, I know…
