Creating Custom UI Components and Live Rendering with Xcode

iOS allows you to create custom controls that can be used in your apps alongside the Apple provided ones. Prior to Xcode 6, you couldn’t preview custom controls in Interface Builder, you had to run the app to see what you had built. This could get frustrating when you had to continually run the application to check the results of changes you’d made, as running an app on the simulator or device can take some time.


Xcode 6 improves on this process, so you can now preview your custom controls in Interface Builder and see your changes in real time as you make them. This makes development faster as you can quickly see the results of what you are coding. Xcode 6 goes further in enabling you to debug the controls without running the app first.

PHP 7 Controversy


The PHP 7 Revolution article brought on a vast amount of discussion in our forums. The article covered information on how PHP is skipping 5.7 and moving directly to PHP 7, that the new version will give us return types, and that the removal of PHP4-style constructors is certainly going to be a controversial change. Tony Marstron controversially pleaded: please don't break our language. An excellent response from rrcatto:
"If a business needs to run a piece of code, to me this also implies actively maintaining it. ... If the language changes, code must also change. That is the only dev paradigm that makes sense, because progress is a good thing and we should not hinder it."
