Ken Burns View
I thought it might be fun to highlight a past control of the week on occasion, in case you might have missed it the first time around. This week, check out this awesome Ken Burns View control, authored by Javier Berlana, and originally featured back in November of last year.
This control lets you create a slideshow that uses a Ken Burns effect to transition between different images. This control is made available under the MIT License.
Our Weekly Roundup

Our control of the week, OCCalendar is a very simple component for iPhone/iPad that provides a “Popover” date picker controller. It is very easy to add to your project, and is 100% CoreGraphics code, so it uses no images, and is resolution independent. BSD licensed.
