Freelance Mad Science in Podcast form...

My NSBrief episode is out. Saul and I talked about iCloud storage. We go over a lot of material. There are a lot of really good tips and tricks in there. iIf you have any interest in adding iCloud support to your apps, I highly recommend downloading and listening to it.

I am also appearing on iDeveloper this Monday. You can catch that live on January 16th at 5pm GMT / 12pm EST / 9AM PST. We will be talking about iOS 5 development. Specifically, we'll discuss using storyboards. We will probably also touch on ARC, iCloud Storage and other topics from my book. Should be a lot of fun.

One day left until I select a winner, and only one person has left a comment. So, you probably have a really good chance of winning.

If you're having trouble leaving comments, please contact me. You can either reach me using the contact me link on this site, or through twitter (@rikiwarren).

And the winner is @gkeviv. Congratulations!

I still have a couple of book bundles to give away. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them quite yet. If anyone has any suggestions, let me know. Otherwise, look for something in the new year.

Book Giveaway, Round II

Ok, time for round 2. I'm giving away another copy of "Creating iOS 5 Apps: Develop and Design." Same game, different location. This time, on Friday, December 23rd I will select a random follower on Google+. This follower will win an ebook bundle of my book. All you need to do is add Rich Warren to one of your circles, and you're automatically registered to win.

Both the dead-tree and the dead-bit version of my book are now available at Peachpit's online store. For whatever reason, Amazon still shows the book as being released on the 23rd. Hopefully it will show up in their inventory soon.

Good luck and help me spread the word.
