Geek Out at Carbon Five – Feb 17th
Carbon Five was host to another SFRuby meetup this past Thursday. We would like to thank Michael Hoisie(@hoisie) and Aman Gupta(@tmm1) for presenting and everyone who attended for participating in a discussion of Ruby performance and profiling tools. Michael presented automated page load performance reporting with Slowcop as well as web.go, a web framework for …
iPhone Distributed Computing Fallacy #8: the network is homogeneous
Reviewing the 8 classic “fallacies of distributed computing” and how we can avoid them when writing iOS applications. The fallacies of distributed computing The network is reliable. Latency is zero. Bandwidth is infinite. The network is secure. Topology doesn’t change. There is one administrator. Transport cost is zero. The network is homogeneous. Fallacy #8: “the …

iPhone Distributed Computing Fallacy #1: the network is reliable
As iPhone and web developers we have a number of useful abstractions available for working with network requests. Unfortunately none of them can actually spare us from needing to consider the realities of an unreliable network, especially when working with mobile devices. Fortunately with a little foresight and a few good patterns we can build …
Continuous integration for iPhone projects in TeamCity
Carbon Five has been using TeamCity as our continuous integration server for most of our recent projects, including our iPhone work. Out continuous integration environment monitors the git repository used by each project, runs the project’s tests each time a change is pushed to the repository, and can automatically produce an ad-hoc build of an …
