Brian Gesiak : CI for Open Source iOS Applications, Part 1: Setup
This guide will walk you through setting up a Jenkins continuous integration server for your open source iOS project. By the end of the guide, you will be able to add an image to your README indicating the build status of your repository's master branch. Step 1: Provisioning a CI server Jenkins on the Cloud In order to provide developers with feedback on the state of the build, you will need a publicly available Jenkins instance. Normally, this would mean hosting an instance on EC2, setting up permissions to prevent anonymous users from messing with configurations, and other hassles. Free OSS Account CloudBees Jenkins instances are private by default. After registering, you can check out your Jenkins instance at {{ your_domain }}.ci.cloudbees.com. Set up a Slave The Jenkins instance hosted on CloudBees will show other developers the state of the build, but the actual execution has to be on an OS X machine with Xcode installed. Get a Job! Step 2: Automating the Build The Build Script
Cost Effective Chemical Analysis, Commercial Consulting of Mark Wainwright Analytical Centre (MWAC)
Analysis of commercial products and product formulations, and more ... The identification and quantitation of components of a product formulation can be a quite complex task. We use our 20 year expertise and the huge range of instrumentation here at the Analytical Centre firstly to identify components then to quantify each component in the product. We have provided formulations for cleaning products, building products, adhesives, aerosols and Once the composition is known we can provide you with contacts who can advise and manufacture the product. close ... Purity and assay of substances, and more ... Our clients have included many chemical suppliers including Ajax Finechem, Deltrex Chemicals, Hardman Chemicals, Muraban Laboratories, Redox, Veedri and Waterco, who needed rapid analysis of commercial chemicals or third party independent analyses of chemicals in cases of dispute.

Introduction to UIAutomation Testing on iOS (Video/Slides)
Thanks again to everyone who turned out today for the webinar! As promised, here are the slides, a recording of the video, and links to the resources I discussed. About this talk: I talk about different forms of testing, UIAccessibility, UIAutomation, and how making your apps testable will help make them accessible to visually impaired users running iPhones or iPads. Projects I mentioned AutomationExample – Easily interact with Instruments from the command line. Other test frameworks OCUnit – Built in to Xcode, unit testing GHUnit – Unit testing KIF – Functional testing, Objective C Calabash – Functional testing/BDD, Ruby Frank – Functional testing/BDD, Ruby OHHTTPStubs – Easily stub network requests for testing.

Metrics Showdown: Mixpanel v. KISSmetrics v. Google Analytics « art/van/kilmer
NOTE: This post describes Mixpanel, KISSmetrics, and Google Analytics as I used them in Spring and Summer 2010. At least Mixpanel has changed substantially since then. I’m planning to do an updated post. If you’re building a new web app, you’d rather focus on the app instead of building complex data collection tools. I evaluated Mixpanel, KISSmetrics, and Google Analytics with an early prototype of Slipstream, a new web-based Twitter client. What are you trying to learn? Collecting too much data is as bad as not collecting enough because you won’t be able to act on it all. What am I trying to learn? The answer affects which tool you choose more than anything else. Once you know what you want to learn, it’s time to dive into the tools to see what will bring you closer to the answers. Mixpanel pros & cons Mixpanel is ideal for tracking arbitrary events in real-time. mpmetrics.track("Added a favorite"); You can also add arbitrary properties to events.

The Wobbly Boot Pico-Brewery
I've been working on a post about the keg kettles and all of the bits and pieces that went into them, but I'm still lacking some photos. However, I've had some commenters requesting the code and even offering to take a look at debugging the UI, so I'll put the keggle post on hold for another week or two and talk about the code for a minute. **Disclaimer** In spite of what this code may look like, I am in fact a professional LabVIEW programmer. I'm a card-carrying CLD (although it's about time for a re-cert) and I'm helping write the new embedded developer exam (see? **End of Disclaimer" There are three main parts to the code architecture. So here's a high-level view of the control code. Touch-PC UI Since I've already posted my touch-panel app, I'll not go into much detail about it here. LabVIEW RT Application There's a decent amount going on in the RT code. The hot-liquor tank has closed loop temperature control via an on-off algorithm. FPGA Application Controller Hardware
