I would love to see a tutorial on UITableView on how to customize the look and feel. For example to show a grouped table where the rows section looks like a piece of paper instead of the default look.

Thank you

Not sure if this is too easy for a tutorial, but I’d like to see a simple tutorial where a small image is changed by pushing a button.

I have been trying to find examples where I have a table view populated like in your navigation tutorial but then rather than selecting a line and it takes the user to a view with text or labels, I want it to go to another table view. This would be populated with a list of items depending on what the user selected on the first table. there are a lot of example tutorials which show what you have done, and that is great to see more, but I haven’t seen any where there is a table leading to another table… and THEN a view like you have. Thanks!!!

Hey Adeem,

I have looked all over the net and have still not found a good tutorial on how to implement a motion path using Quartz graphics and Core Animation. Could you please write a tutorial on this topic?

Thanks for all your other tutorials. They are all really helpful and some of the best I’ve seen.

ADDRESS BOOK and creating GROUP categories. Is there a way to create a NEW group in ADDRESS BOOK. I want to create a group called “groupX” and save it to the AB. how would I do this?
then how would I save a NEW or EDITED contact to it.
Then, how do I make this group my default group when I search for contacts in my app?
thanks

Hiya Adeem, first off thx for the great tutorials! Would it be possible to make a tutorial on how to create an image slideshow that launches from a button click? Basically like the ones you see in the app store when launched from the iPhone/Touch, where it has the top/bot nav bar that dissappears and has the image count,arrows and swipe functionality.

What I would like to see is a tutorial that show how to make a setting menu and how to connect it the app itself? What I am trying to do it make a app that randomizes pictures and rerandomizes them with the click of a button. Where i am runing into trouble is i want a switch in a settings menu that will turn off some of the images. So a good settings menu tutorial would be awesome!

Hi,

I’d like a tutorial for a app with a simple splash page. After the splash page, there would be a list of items, each item would have another list of items, then each item would have a scrollable text area. Think of it like an ebook reader. List of books, list of chapters in a specific book, then the text from that chapter. I’d kind of like to see a tutorial with the new 3.0 Xcode. Thanks =)

Hi,

I just need two things to get started, but it would be 1000 faster to talk to a human than read/listen to a tutorial. 1) setting up xcode developer for the iPhone simulator, and 2) a simple hello world example that prints a string and echoes characters typed by a user that go through a non-buffered I/O interface. #2 first probably, I want to get a single character at a time, process it in my app, and print anything I want in response. I assume I can process characters faster than a user can type. Then #1, getting it loaded into the simulator or my iPhone to test. A pointer to an already tutorial would be better than nothing. A class with a human teacher would be great! Thanks,

Rob G.
