App development for iPhone and iPod Touch has become a booming industry. Designers from all over the world are jumping at the chance to have their ideas published into the App Store. It’s no surprise more tech enthusiasts are moving onto Apple devices.
It can be tough to build an entire app from scratch and Xcode menus don’t make things easier. In this tutorial I’m hoping to introduce some bare-bones essential ideas for customizing an application’s top navigation bar. There is a bit of Objective-C code required but it shouldn’t be too overwhelming. It’s also worth noting that you will need a computer running Mac OS X in order to install Xcode and compile these apps in the first place.

The Industrial Revolution is a significant part of our history on this planet. It seems like a long time in retrospect, but only 100-150 years ago we were just kicking off the creation of American corporations and factories nationwide. Now we can see much of the remnants in heavily populated city areas.
In this showcase I’ve put together 33 stunning examples of industrial photography. These pictures capture the essence of our industrial society as we move forward in the 21st century. These are very inspiring photographs and really make you think about our deep, rich history in these lands. As always let us know your thoughts or ideas in the comments discussion area.

Thus I’ve collected a wonderful set of 30 super-oversized footer designs from modern websites. If you’re a fan of this design trend I highly recommend checking out some of my examples below. Similarly if you know of any great footers you don’t see on this list, be sure and let us know in the comments area below.
