Welcome to our weekly roundup! Beyond our usual assortment of view components, we have a couple libraries for your perusal today: EtPanKit, an Objective-C interface for the IMAP and SMTP library used in the mail client Sparrow, and Nocilla, an HTTP stubbing library. Check them out and let us know what you think!
Additionally, this past week, we published interviews with three of my favorite people in the iOS developer community:
Developer Interviews
- Daniel Amitay – Author of a top 25 iOS app.
- Jonathan Penn – Frequent CocoaConf speaker and author of the forthcoming book Test iOS Apps With UI Automation.
- Tope Abayomi – Creator of AppDesignVault.
We have some more interviews coming this week, too, but we’ll need your help in order to make this a regular feature. Are you the creator of a popular iOS or OS X library? Have you created a noteworthy app? Have you built a service that lots of developers rely upon? Please get in touch with us by sending us an email at [email protected].
