IOS / File Sharing via iTunes and Files app (iOS 11)

Saving FILE / DOCUMENT that you generate using your iOS app is an interesting task when developing iOS App. Eventually you also want to know this ability.

You can apparently very quickly save out text files, or output all kind of processed files, etc. into Document sandbox of your app, for later to be accessible via iTunes or NEW Files app (iOS 11)!

CUSTOM URL

You need to prepare your URL Scheme for your app first. This will be handy at later stage.

PLIST

Then we got to deal with PLIST attributions. This is pretty easy once understood.

Loading files could also be interesting, but something I need to research in the future.

WOLFRAM / Making Text With Rainbow Color

Continuing with my Wolfram Mathematica Trial Experience... I watched and went through some more Mathematica introduction videos, read lots of Mathematica documentation and also going through the Wolfram Lab Online again a few times. There are some major learning curves and Mathematica is a lot different from normal programming language. Sometimes there is a lot of interesting "shortcuts", say like: FindFaces[] , WordCloud[] . Sometimes I got a little confused on how one can do iterations. Normally FOR LOOP concept is introduced early, but in Wolfram, because everything is EXPRESSIONS and ENTITY (like OBJECTS), sometimes it gets quite quirky. Mind you I am still in the first impression and having to look at many tutorials. Lots of NEAT EXAMPLES from documentation, but sometimes I got lost. I found Wolfram to be really awesome with LIST and generating list. It's almost too easy when it works visually. I cannot explain them with my own words yet, but there are ...

PYTHON PROCESSING / It only really begins ...

Back into Processing again, with Python! While Daniel Shiffman is continuously inspiring us with his CODING TRAIN series on YouTube, using Processing with Java and Javascript language, I decided to free my mind and trying to really do something using Processing and Python language. Installing Python language version on Processing 3 is easy enough, just first download the latest Processing and install the Python language mode via Add Mode button. Other link that might help: https://github.com/jdf/processing.py http://py.processing.org/tutorials/ BLANK MODE As soon as Processing Python Mode, opens up and running I am presented with a  blank environment. Suddenly I recalled my journey in learning programming from zero until now... With Python, outside Processing, commonly people will be introduced to Python IDE or IDLE environment. Something that looks like Console Window or Command Prompt, where we type single liners command. Python Command Line and IDE normally ha...

SONICPI / Ruby, Python, MIDI and OSC

I have a big curiosity on how we can use OSC or MIDI to send message from one app to another app, potentially to generate (realtime) synth sound, visualization, and animation. This is especially a fun area and environment when we wanted to use CODE for CREATIVITY. Sonic Pi (by Sam Aaron) is one app I really love to use when dealing with Synth and Sonic generator. I remember using ChucK in the past by Ge Wang, ChucK is also cool, but Sonic Pi is a lot more friendly. http://sonic-pi.net Sonic Pi multi-threaded ness and LIVE LOOP is really something new for me. But Sam made it easy enough so that we could generate "listener" very easily. MAKING SOUND WITH CODE There are plenty of ways we can "trigger" Sonic Pi to generate sound. Obviously we can just use the built in RUBY language inside Sonic Pi app. Fairly simple and fun language to use and you can generate some noise in no time! Sonic Pi RUBY language documentation is really in depth and a full on progr...
