Have I mentioned lately how awesome NSScreencast is? No? Worth the subscription. Check it out if you’re an iOS developer. Or even if you’re not and you want an example of how to do coding screencasts well.

Foster Bass

Got tired of dead-end googling so I checked to see if @NSScreencast had covered what I was looking for. Of course he had, 4 years ago. Should have checked there first.

Aijaz Ansari

One 13-minute episode of @NSScreencast just paid for the yearly subscription fee in amount of time saved. Do it.

Sam Soffes

Seriously great stuff even for seasoned developers. I’ve learned a good amount from Ben’s videos.

James Dempsey

You can really expand your development horizons in just a few minutes a week with NSScreencast.

Alexis Gallagher

Random PSA for iOS developers: @NSScreencast is a great resource, and worth every penny. It’s high quality, practical, and honest.

Nate Armstrong

Can’t say enough good things about @NSScreencast There is gold in the Road Trip DJ Series.

Karl Oscar Weber

I just reuppped my subscription to @NSScreencast. [An] indespensible resource if you’re into iOS or Mac Development.

Marcus Ziadé

Just finished @NSScreencast series on Modern CollectionViews. Strongly recommended. Programmatic UI, nicely structured code, easily approachable explanation style. 👌

  • Camera Sounds and UI

    Camera Capture and Detection

    • Camera Sounds and UI

    In this episode we implement features that make the app feel more like a camera. When tapping the screen, we play the system camera shutter sound using AudioServices, then we add a small but useful flash effect to reinforce the fact the user took a photo. We'll also talk about a strategy for capturing the image by using a flag.

  • CAReplicatorLayer

    #196

    • CAReplicatorLayer

    In this episode we take our missile animation from last time and update it to use CAAnimations. Using these animations we can add a wiggle, along with a small oscillating rotation to give a little life to the missile. Then we utilize CAReplicatorLayer to have them fan out and fire in slightly different directions.

  • CABasicAnimation

    #151

    • CABasicAnimation

    In this episode we take a look at CoreAnimation's easiest form of animation with CABasicAnimation. Using this class we can animate properties of a layer, such as frame, background color, paths for CAShapeLayer, and more. We also cover timing functions and how to make a transition between shapes a bit easier for the system to interpolate between.
