Staying up to date with the iOS dev community (v1)

08 Apr 2015

I’ve seen a lot of people asking how to keep up to date with the iOS dev community, so I decided to share a list of websites I try to visit frequently:

Must read

NSHipster - used to be my favourite iOS dev blog until The Mattt Thompson decided to pass the main editor role to Nate Cook (Jan 2015). Still a very good source of information
objc.io - a very professional site where the editors choose different subjects and write a suite of serious and well documented articles about those subjects (i.e.Lighter View Controllers, Concurrent Programming, Architecture, ...). Highly recommended
Mike Ash's NSBlog - Mike Ash is the first name that pops into my mind when I think about iOS's low level architecture and what happens behind the curtains and most importantly, being able to explain those concepts to regular developers. This blog has a lot of interesting articles explaining in detail how certain platform concepts work (i.e. Let's build @synchronized,Secrets of dispatch_once, Why Registers Are Fast and RAM Is Slow, …)

Aggregators

This contains a list of blogs that aggregate articles from other sites.

iOS Dev Weekly - a list of the hottest articles/controls/news... that appears weekly (as the name says)
iOS Goodies - another weekly list of the hottest stuff from iOS dev
iOS developer:tips
Maniac Dev
Cocoa Controls - searchable list of open source UI controls (with description, screenshots, ...)
iOS Programming @Reddit

Tutorials

The best place to look for iOS Dev tutorials is RayWenderlich.com. Another tutorials platform is NSScreencast (note that some tutorials need to be purchased). Also see iOS Bytes @ CodeSchool or CocoaHeads TV.
