Replace the “1.8″ with the version of Ruby you’d like to use.

That’s it!

Within [YourApplication]/config/routes.rb, uncomment the last line of code directly before the “end” statement. The line should read:match ':controller(/:action(/:id(.:format)))'

Once that is completed, you may restart your WEBrick server by using rails server

That’s it!

I have now started a “Web and Mobile Development” podcast which has video shows, and eventually audio shows where I just talk about anything web or mobile. Soon I hope to have a co-host to add another perspective to the show.

The podcast is soon-to-be on iTunes, so stay tuned.

The idea of the NSTimer is that you ‘schedule’ a method invocation either some set date/time in the future, or a certain time interval in the future. As an example, you might have an NSTimer checking a web page every 5 seconds for updated content; something like this would probably be done using NSTimer.

An example…

In your viewDidLoad method:

myTimer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval: 5 target:self selector:@selector(someMethod) userInfo:nil repeats:YES]; // make sure to define this variable in your .h file



- (void) someMethod {
NSLog(@"Inside the method!");
// do something here... (called every 5 seconds)
}


All we’re doing above is scheduling a timer to ‘fire’ every 5 seconds, calling “someMethod” each time.

There’s the basic usage of NSTimer, there are a few other methods within the class, but “scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:” seems to be the most important. Here’s Apple’s reference page for NSTimer: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/cocoa/reference/foundation/Classes/NSTimer_Class/Reference/NSTimer.html
