Comment on What’s a UITextEffectsWindow? And why is it receiving messages? by Chris Wild

You got to be careful with those properties, The number of times I’ve forgot to add the self. and hit problems. The answer is to have a different name for your variable than your property, that way you get into the habit of using the property name because it’s the one that makes sense.

eg.

NSString* _hiddenVariable;

Property (retain) NSString* Name;

@Synthesize Name = _hiddenVariable;

The only thing to remember when doing this is to add IBOutlet when needed to the property and not the variable declaration. Otherwise Interface Builder will pick up your variable and not the property.

Comment on Erlang String Issue by ojmason

Not at the moment; I’ve been very busy recently, and Erlang coding has fallen by the wayside a bit. Especially since I now need to catch up on Objective-C.

But with the summer holidays coming up I hope to be able to spend a bit more time on Erlang stuff.

Hey Mason,

I was just wondering if you found any solution for string handling?

Thank you,
