Action-packed August! with Hopscotch, FiftyThree, & CodeCoalition

Our Meetup this month is jam-packed with iOS demos, tools, stories, and code! Reserve your spot, and get there early :)

3-for-1 by CodeCoalition:

John Nichols: BFCropInterface, a better tool for cropping photos
The BFCropInterface was featured in Pongr (http://www.pongr.com/), and is a custom crop tool that can draw boxes and rectangles of varying heights and sizes. Managing motion control presented a multitude of technical challenges.

Teddy Wyly: Unlocking the power of UICollectionView
Although UICollectionViewFlowLayout can accomplish much of what is needed, subclassing UICollectionViewLayout allows much more flexibility, and can accomplish some powerful view layouts with a few lines of code.

Eliot Arntz: Parse, an alternative backend in Objective-C
Parse serves as a cloud storage for simple applications. Objects may be created and retrieved on the fly using Parse's well-developed API.

e took a step back to rethink how zoom works in a touch context. Through a ton of design exploration, prototyping, and engineering work to add custom UI gesture recognizers, we were happy to ship a zoom tool we're proud of in our latest release: explore."

They will discuss the code behind Hopscotch and the technical details of how Sam wrote a visual programming language.

This event will be filmed.
