Iphone development kick-start in Turkey

Nowadays, I’m thinking about new training lessons about Iphone development on the MacOS which will be programmer to programmer series. I thing in my country there are a lot of people who have development background on the another platform like C#, Java, PHP, Ruby etc. And these people wish to learn Iphone programming with objective-c platform but they can’t find any resources for describing that in Turkish.

I thougth it should be a crash course and I have asked this question to my self, what it should be ? it should be book ? the answer is “No”, it should be video training series and it should be cheapper then books.

So, I will start to prepare lessons in my mind and after this I will start to record lessons. And every lesson will contain a lot of information and describe good thinks according to that idea.

I believe that video traings are better that reading lot of e-books, it’s faster way of learning without waste lot of times.

By the way, this attempt won’t be commercial. people will pay for a little fee for my expense and my work. We should respect to works, shouldn’t we ?

It seems thats a good idea isn’t it ?

C# oAuth example project for LinkedIn

i have started to write new Iphone application named Status Wave, this application is connecting to many social networks and automatically update user’s status via status wave’s multithread server which are selected networks. So, during the development of registration process of Status Wave, i worked with LinkedId API, i have to consider Linked network.

Then i saw that linkedin uses oAuth mechanism for accessing their rest server API like Twitter, LinkedIn, MySpace etc.. But they have small package security differences then other networks, some api functions are only accept oauth paremeters via httpheader. I saw that, many people confused about using http headers with HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse classes of C#.

During the creating example project, i googled and i found an C# oAuth example code from code.google.com, it was developed by Eran Sandler and i changed some lines in this code then i created an example C# ASP.NET project.

Some notes about the LinkedIn API : Normally oAuth providers expects these parameters from your program.

oauth_consumer_key
oauth_callback
oauth_version
oauth_signature_method
oauth_signature
oauth_timestamp
oauth_nonce
oauth_token
oauth_token_secret

But linkedin expects these paremeters as well as oauth_verifier parameters. Linked in oauth mechanism slightly different then others ha ?

I want to say “Thank you” to Taylor Singletary who is a developer in LinkedIn.

You can found working example project attached of this post. Or you can also follow this project’s forum posts onto linkedIn forum.

Two years ago, when i wrote my last blog entry, i thought that i would re-write as soon as posible. Actually, sometimes i need to write something about in my mind. Because i had overloaded a lot of thinks, research some thing like that. Then i’m starting again but i have small differences now, from now on, i will write my all posts in English instead of my mother language Turkish. I agree that it will be challenge for me, i hope my entires will help someone.

My computer story was born with my first commodore 64 computer, i think a lot of people doesn’t know what is commodore 64 It was first adventure for some people like me. And i thought i need more speed and more graphics quality. Then i upgraded to Amiga 500. Wow it was awesome for me, i waste a lot of time on the Amiga then i plugged my first HDD to my new computer, i didn’t sleep very well a lot of nights because of this. After i had my first PC x286 Honeywell then i started programming with Qbasic. After that entire of my life was too fast until my children born.
