In this short post I’ll show how I use RestKit library in my iOS projects.

First of all, I want to say that for managing all my libraries in iOS projects I use CocoaPods (kind of Gemfile bundler, but for iOS), which I strongly recommend using.

So, RestKit… open up your Podfile and add

dependency 'RestKit/Network'
dependency 'RestKit/UI'
dependency 'RestKit/ObjectMapping'
dependency 'RestKit/ObjectMapping/CoreData'
dependency 'RestKit/ObjectMapping/JSON'

I also use Injective dependency a lot, so I add dependency 'Injective' to my Podfile

In this short post I’ll tell how I made Google-Maps-for-Rails be able to work with ActiveAdmin.

Let’s asume you have a working configured Rails 3.2, MongoDB and ActiveAdmin.

First you need to install gem - gem 'gmaps4rails', then run rails g gmaps4rails:install

While working on new rails project, I’ve made few lazy helpers for Capistrano cap command that I want to share. All of them are in my deploy.rb file.

Small piece of code that will show you available font names for using in you iOS project

NSArray *fonts = [UIFont familyNames];
for (NSString *fName in fonts) {
    NSLog(@"---> %@ :", fName);
    NSLog(@"\n%@", [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:fName]);
}

I wonder when people will start reading some details before asking a lot of questions? Like the questions “Let’s meet today in center (Kiev)?” or “Oh, so where do you live now?”. Come on, people.
