objectiveresource

Inspired by ActiveResource and based the Core Data stack. Ideally you'd create a custom Core Data persistent store, but since you can only create custom atomic stores that isn't possible. I don't want to pull the entire database down every time, and I don't want to pepper my code ... [More] with NSURLConnection code. I decided to write a collection of custom classes which mimic the interface of Core Data. The project also features a suite of tests to verify the behavior. Tests might rely on a database not included in the project. I'll write supporting code for the test suite that will load the Rails stack (included in Leopard) and host it using RubyCocoa and WEBrick.

vibekit

VibeKit.app is a Netvibes.com client for Mac OSX Tiger - a very minimalistic (WebKit-based) browser, that only displays the Netvibes.com homepage/webtop. Nothing else. It’s an odd app, and you can blame Chris Messina for making me write this damn thing.

portray

Portraya work-in-progress mac os x application for creating websites in a maintainable, organized fashion. The code is not publicly posted yet, because my university owns the rights to this project as of now and I need to obtain the rights back before posting here. Hopefully soon I will be able to ... [More] post the code and in May 2010 start allowing outside code commits. Until May it is my senior project. OverviewPortray splits the creation of your site into two separated sections, the creation of your data and the laying out and styling of your data, as seen on your website. This separation makes website creation more organized and simple. Keep Track Of Your DataObjectsPortray provides a flexible way to set up the content of your site, viewing every piece of data of your site as an object, with attributes and relationships to other objects. An example could be a photo album for a club event, consisting of a list of images, a date, and a relationship to an event object. BlueprintsPortray provides a system to make templates, or blueprints, of what different data objects should contain for the purposes of your site. For example, if your club website has many events, you can create a blueprint for an event. This will describe the necessary data needed to describe an event, such as a date, a photo album, a location, and a description. After your blueprint is created and an event needs to be put in the site, you can follow the blueprint to easily input the correct data. Integrate Your Data Into Your Site [Less]
