If you enjoy getting a sneak peek behind the scenes and learning what went into the creation of your favorite apps, then this post is for you. Soon after the official launch of Twitterrific 5, Rene Richie & the gang over on the Iterate podcast had Ged and David on to talk about version 5, what went into creation of the interface, Twitter’s new guidelines and more. Episode 35 is an insightful look into the creation of Twitterrific and worth checking out.
This past week, iMore also had Sean and Craig on the Debug podcast, this time to talk about the technical side of development. If you love coding, know what nibs are or want to wax episodic about the early days of the App Store, Debug ep 5 is for you.
