Today I tested httpriot a simple REST library designed to make interacting with REST services on iOS much easier.
It’s pretty simple and works with JSON and XML.
Some Examples:
Send a GET request:
[HRRestModel getPath:@"/person.json" withOptions:nil object:nil];
Send a POST request with JSON body data:
NSDictionary *opts = [NSDictionary dictionaroyWithObject:[person JSONRepresentation] forKey:@"body"];
[HRRestModel postPath:@"/person" withOptions:opts object:nil];
Send a PUT request:
NSDictionary *opts = [NSDictionary dictionaroyWithObject:[updatedPerson JSONRepresentation] forKey:@"body"];
[HRRestModel putPath:@"/person" withOptions:opts object:nil];
Send a DELETE request:
[HRRestModel deletePath:@"/person/1" withOptions:nil object:nil]

The new iPhone OS 3.1.3 enables tethering for factory unlocked devices. It’s awesome to be able to go online with your iPhone via bluetooth when you’re traveling or if you are at a place without Internet connection.

LocaNote is our final project in the 3rd semester at university of applied sciences in Salzburg.
With LocaNote you are able to store notes which have a geographical position attached to them. So whenever you check your notes, you will only be presented with the notes near you. Since it is a cloud service, you can access your notes from our web-application or – even better – you can check and edit your notes with your iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS.
LocaNote has been developed in RubyOnRails and uses the authlogic gem for registration and authentification.
The iPhone Application uses Apple’s iPhone SDK and has been developed in XCode and Inteface Builder. For a easier communication to our API we used ObjectiveResource (www.iphoneonrails.com).
ObjectiveResource is an Objective-C port of Ruby on Rails’ ActiveResource. It provides a way to serialize objects to and from Rails’ standard RESTful web-services (via XML or JSON) and handles much of the complexity involved with invoking web-services of any language from the iPhone. With ObjectiveResource you’ll be able to implement your own Classes and it adds some methods for saving/destroying objects in your database.
As shown on the getting-started page of ObjectiveResource, you can simply call the method “saveRemote” to sync your data with your server. With calling the methode “findAllRemote” you’ll get all objects of the specified route.
The iPhone app will be available in the AppStore in February.

I finally presented my first version of my game iParcheesi. There are still some features missing but I’ll implement it so that I can share it on the AppStore.

Hi there,
I am a student from bachelor degree course MultiMediaTechnology (mmt) at Salzburg University of Applied Sciences.
Mmt is focusing on media informatics. The course is project based and practical, taking into consideration the demands of the new media world.
During six semesters we learn how to develope innovative webapplications, computergames, graphic simulations, 3D-computergraphics, human interfaces and interactive applications for info- and edutainment on stationary and mobile platforms.
In this blog I want to scribble some facts of our projects and other ideas.
Have fun, discovering my student life.
