Objective-C is becoming a popular language thanks to iPhone/iPad Development. It’s a language based on C with OO feature & Smalltalk-like messaging on top. It’s the primary language for developing Mac/iOS applications. Though being yet another programming language, there’s a feature I like most about Objective-C: Category. Class Extension Category offers a clean way to extend the functionality of an existing class, particularly classes which are closed source, e.g. Adding MD5 generation to NSString.

WHEN? started using MongoDB My MongoDB experience started back in the day when the mySQL database of a core system at the company I was working for went critical. It was last July. The data volume was growing so fast that, some analytical processes could no longer finish in a reasonable timeframe, and some of them even took more than a day to complete. As you can expect, it’s mainly due to the normalized data, and some crazy joins.

Mobile Development Been developing on mobile lately, and have long been using KISSmetrics as the analytics solution for my development. It has been a pleasant experience so far, particular on iOS. Unfortunately, when it come to android, I couldn’t find any library available which offers rich functionalities like the iOS version. So, I decided to build one. KISSmetrics-4-Android Kissmetrics-4-Android is the library written specifically for my own development need. It’s available on Github.
