Hi i want to make an feed reading application that it should look like this
Here i want to make an application that reads data from different websites. The data should be seperate in category wise and should the number of updates should come in badges with respect to different category.
But i got a problem that there is no availability of creating badges inside a view like the picture in the above, there is only possibility to create on application icon, Please help me in which way i can achieve the target like in the picture. What should i use to create icons like NEWS, ADVISORS etc like in picture and how can we use badges in those icons inside a view.
Thank you if anyone help me in advance
First i would like to share something related to RSS Feeds. These are in XML Format. If you see the XML of feeds you will easily get the category of the feed.
For badges i would like to suggest create icons with empty badges (i.e, without numbers) and add labels fit into the red badge area. update labels from your code with number of updates.
Thanks
You could use the Three20 library for the view, specifically the launcher

I lack any knowledge in xcode, cocoa touch or c+++ etc. Now, I am going to try to make a photography app, where I got a tab bar, and 4 undercategories. At the first category, I want it to be a grid of photos who can be enlarged by touching them. I really don't have time to learn more about programming for a couple of months. How is this achieved in the easiest possible way? I am currently leaning towards AQGridView, but since I have zero knowledge of the area I cannot fully understand the instructions. Now before you ask why I want to make an app without any sorts of knowledge, let me answer it. My father is a photographer, and wishes to get an app. If I manage to make one for him, I can get loads of jobs where his photographer friends pay for an app. And if I have already made it, I will probably have a template from the earlier project to take advantage from.
So, in conclusion, my question is: How do I make this possible in the easiest way possible?
Thanks.
Sounds like a great candidate for the new UICollectionViews. There are many grid frameworks out there, but if you have any experience with TableViews on iOS, CollectionViews are a breeze to get up and running quickly. One of the best resources for learning and implementing CollectionViews (outside of the API docs) can be found here:

I have a Facebook news app. It takes a bit of time to load the webpage in the app. But an app like Washington post loads the page much faster. How do I make my app load faster?
Some things you could do are :
Minify all JavaScript and CSS files.
Ensure all images used are as small as possible ( talking about the size of the file )
Consider condensing your images into a "sprite" file.
Make sure you are not making any unnecessary API calls before the page loads
Refactor your code and review your code logic.
Use google chrome's "network" panel to monitor what resources are being loaded and how long they are taking.
If you are using jQuery - consider loading the libraries from Google's CDN
Saying that "app like Washington post loads the page very quick..." doesn't help anyone - who knows how many developers and how much time they put into their application. All you can do is make it the best that you can with the tools and resources that you have at your disposal...
If you find a specific issue with your application that you see is slowing things down and you still do not know how to improve the load time - come back here and edit your question to contain more information about that specific problem.
Happy coding!

I'm developing a site that allows a user to create an order for a product based on "One of those, one of those, three of them, that much of that" etc to end up with a shopping list them can print out and take to their local store and show to a Customer Adviser "I'd like this product with these items in please".
I'd also like to have a Like button or something similar where you can post your results to your Facebook account - "Look what I'm buying!" sort of thing. Maybe even a link back to the client website.
I'm ultra new to the Facebook API - is anything like this possible? Have seen similar sort of ideas with people like Levi; is it possible to send complex text data to Facebook in this way rather than just "Like" a page, as the page results will be different for different users?
Yes, it is possible to do that.
Become an app developer. See: http://developers.facebook.com
Read thru the examples and other documentation at. http://developers.facebook.com/docs
Set up an app at: https://developers.facebook.com/apps
Get your feet wet by coding up some of the examples
Then get to work on your project's requirements and code up the solution.
Happy coding.

I want to create an app where the user takes a photo and then the app translates that image into text based on what the user took a picture of. For example: If the user took a picture of a book then the app would then translate that into plain text.
Where would I start with something like this?
If you 'just' want to read an image of text into a string, look for OCR.
If you want to really have a computer describe what's in the picture.. With some background in computer vision I feel qualified to state that that's not possible with current technology.
So, if you want that, what are your options? You could do like mealsnap, and use cheap micro-labor from mechanical turk.
Check out IQEngines. It combines computer vision and crowdsourcing to figure out what's in the image.
We use it at Voxy (a language learning company) to help users create flashcards when they're learning English and don't know what the word is.
I have used one OCR in one of my app - http://www.abbyy.com/Default.aspx?DN=5b0ab341-0c6e-4119-a824-c652b9e888f4
And here is a REST based api for OCR - http://www.wisetrend.com/wisetrend_ocr_cloud.shtml

I've been having some difficulty designing a search and login function for my app. I have a list of video's with titles, and I need to create a search function (much like the youtube app) to search through the list. What would be the best way to go about doing this? Search the video's before they get fetched, and display the results, or search through the array after it's been fetched.
I also need to connect with an apache server to login in my app, and display unique content.
I haven't been able to find any samples on the matter.
Thanks for reading!
Your question is too vague. There are many paths that you can take. Your videos can be searchable on your remote apache server, or your iOS app can download the list of videos and search locally. This depends on the number of videos.
Best way is to have a table view with a list, and a search field on top. To get to this table view, the iOS app asks the user to login. If it's valid, then it shows the table/search views.
