Bad Cocoa How to write the code of deep regret
quickly and easily - @kattrali
Think Monolithic ensure changing one part of an app requires
changing them all
Long Selector is Best Selector
Test Private Stuff ensure every test will break during refactors
maximize the number of mocks, stubs, and performSelector() calls
Do Not Write Tests no worries, the compiler will catch
your bugs
Use Delegates with Callbacks If you don't need asynchronous callbacks
for synchronous code, you aren't trying hard enough -initWithDelegate:callback:
Subclass Subclass Subclass things will be easy when you need
to swap out superclasses sometime!
Categoriception Extend your own classes with several categories instead of
containing each unit of related functionality in a single class
Maximize Responsibilities Per Class ensure the difficulty of changing individual
components later
Safely assign many responsibilities using protocols @class MyController : NSObject
<MyControllerDelegate, Why, God, Please, Stop, WithTheProtocols>
Safely assign many responsibilities using protocols BONUS: Make each component
of a protocol optional, for maximum flexibility and verbosity (and less warnings!!)
Procrastinate on Performance always wait until you have a problem
before opening Instruments.app
if (@"Avoid Static Analysis") goto fail; goto fail;
Always Swing the Heaviest Hammer NSOperation and Core Data all
day every day - maximize boilerplate code (GCD and NSCoding don't real)
Make Code Styles Inconsistent increase the difficulty of using or
extending your project avoid code style tools like clang- format and Uncrustify
Do not write documentation especially avoid easy-to-use tooling like appledoc
Optimize early Reduce duplication as soon as possible, making code
less flexible later
When in doubt, add to AppDelegate There is no better
place to dump bits of code which do not belong anywhere and need access to application state certainly not new classes
#define over static variables get the most of your available
memory for your numbers, strings, and colors
Thank you!
