Happy summer to everyone north of the equator! We have a handful of cool OS X controls this week, and some really awesome iOS controls for your perusal.
Now that our big codebase upgrade is out the door, I’ve been turning my attention to writing some tutorials and articles that I hope you’ll find scintillating. That said, I know we have some great writers in our audience, and I bet some of you have a burning desire to write a tutorial and get your name out there in front of thousands of Cocoa developers. We’d love to see original content on just about any topic that would be of interest to the Cocoa developer community. Please shoot us an email at [email protected] if you’d like to talk more about this.
Cheers,
Aaron
