Mugunth Kumar rocks iOS - MKNetworkKit, MKStoreKit and more!

Mugunth Kumar rules iOS with his Frameworks!

Good job Mugunth!

MKNetworkKit
MKNetworkKit is a networking framework written in Objective-C that is seamless, block based, ARC ready and easy to use.
MKNetworkKit is inspired by the other two popular networking frameworks, ASIHTTPRequest and AFNetworking. Marrying the feature set from both, MKNetworkKit throws in a bunch of new features. In addition to this, MKNetworkKit mandates you to write slightly more code than the other frameworks at the expense of code clarity. With MKNetworkKit, it’s hard to write ugly networking code.

MKStoreKit
MKStoreKit started off in a pet project a couple of years ago and I wrote the first version in 2009.
Since then, it has seen tremendous adoption rates that, it has been the “go-to” framework for implementing In-App purchases in any iOS app today.

Besides:
MKiCloudSync
Sync your NSUserDefaults to iCloud automatically

UIKitCategoryAdditions
Block based Category additions for AlertView and ActionSheets

j2obc - A Java to iOS Objective-C translation tool and runtime

What J2ObjC Is J2ObjC is an open-source command-line tool from Google that translates Java code to Objective-C for the iOS (iPhone/iPad) platform. This tool enables Java code to be part of an iOS application's build, as no editing of the generated files is necessary. The goal is to write an app's non-UI code (such as data access, or application logic) in Java, which is then shared by web apps (using GWT), Android apps, and iOS apps. J2ObjC supports most Java language and runtime features required by client-side application developers, including exceptions, inner and anonymous classes, generic types, threads and reflection. JUnit test translation and execution is also supported. J2ObjC is currently between alpha and beta quality. Several Google projects rely on it, but when new projects first start working with it, they usually find new bugs to be fixed. Apparently every Java developer has a slightly different way of using Java, and the tool hasn't translated all possib...

A better search experience for apps and users with linking to in-app content. Google is working with app developers and webmasters to index the content of apps and relate them to websites. When relevant, Google Search results on Android will include deep links to apps. App Indexing

Why The Microsoft Surface Just Died Last Week

That was when the company’s new CEO, Satya Nadella, announced the launch of Office for the iPad. He emphasized the company’s focus on cloud and mobile for the future. “We think about users both as individuals and organizations spanning across all devices,” Nadella said during the launch event. And what he said effectively killed the Microsoft Surface. Forbes.com

Server-driven UI (SDUI): Meet Zalandos AppCraft and AirBnB Lona

A short WTF: Joe Birch:  SERVER DRIVEN UI, PART 1: THE CONCEPT Zalando seems to follow the SDUI principle as well - defining a common design language and construct the screens on the backend while displaying them natively on the clients. They even go one step further; they implemented a mighty toolset to enable non-technical stakeholders to define their own native app screens Compass: Web tooling to create screens and bind data Beetroot: Backend service that combines the screen layout definition with the data Lapis/Golem: iOS/Android UI render engines Crazy cool! Good job, guys (when you do an open-source release?) To even move faster a Flutter based UI render engine implementation was great!
