How to Take Webkit Screenshots with Cocoa and Objective-C

One thing that I was curious to learn was how to take website screenshots with cocoa. I knew there was a great command line for mac os x called webkit2png so I took its source code as an inspiration for what I needed.

In this article I’m going to start with the simplest thing that can possibly work, and then add more features as the code evolves.

The Objective-C HTTP library that Apple should have created, seriously.

Seriously
---------
The iPhone needs a better way to make HTTP requests, specifically calls to
REST web services. Seriously mixes Blocks with NSURLConnection &
NSOperationQueue to do just that. It also will automatically parse the JSON
response into a dictionary if the response headers are set correctly.

Install
-------
Just drag the files from the "src" directory into your project. You can also try
using the included "Seriously.framework" file

Parse JSON EXAMPLE
------------------
NSString *url = @"http://api.twitter.com/1/users/show.json?screen_name=probablycorey;"

[Seriously get:url handler:^(id body, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, NSError *error) {
if (error) {
NSLog(@"Error: %@", error);
}
else {
NSLog(@"Look, JSON is parsed into a dictionary!");
NSLog(@"%@", [body objectForKey:@"profile_background_image_url"]);
}
}];

Simple Queue Example
--------------------
NSArray *urls = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
@"http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4138/4744205956_1f08ae40e3_o.jpg",
@"http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4123/4744238252_d11d0df5a3_b.jpg",
@"http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4097/4743596319_50cce97d80_o.jpg",
@"http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4099/4743581287_7c50529b36_o.jpg",
@"http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4123/4743587437_78f0906e8a_o.jpg",
@"http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4136/4743562971_d5f5c6d5b1_o.jpg",
@"http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4073/4744205142_be44e64ab7_o.jpg",
nil];

// By default the NSOperation will only do 3 requests at a time
for (NSString *url in urls) {
NSOperation *o = [Seriously request:url options:nil handler:^(id body,
NSHTTPURLResponse *response, NSError *error) {
NSLog(@"got %d (%@)", [urls indexOfObject:url], url);
}];
}

Why Are You Using Blocks?
-------------------------
Welcome to the future dude!

TODO
----
- Document
- Add XML parsing
- Add more options for NSOperationQueue management

Xcode’s No.1 companion for Cocoa and Cocoa Touch!

I'm trying to amass a list of programming books with opensource licenses, like Creative Commons, GPL, etc. The books can be about a particular programming language or about computers in general.

* Core Data
* Cocoa Bindings
* NSViewController
* Unit testing
* And more!

One of the trends in Mac development in recent years is the prevalence of single window applications such as iPhoto, Aperture and Coda. Single window interfaces can be less complex in terms of user interaction, but it can also lead to a more complex underpinning if you don’t watch yourself where you have a single window controller with everything in it1. Apple has aimed to address this with the NSViewController class, which lets you manage portions of the user interface in their own separate class. If you have done any work on the iPhone it’s similar to UIViewController in many aspects.

So I wanted to add a new build phase to my Xcode Project to run some shell script. It didn’t want to work and I’ve tried to find out why it didn’t work so I’ve tried some Logging. That turned out to be a bit tricky first as i’ve set Xcode to hide all messages and only show warnings and errors. To work around this you simply need to create warnings or errors. That’s pretty easy actually as you only need to write “warning: ohoh” or “error: meh” and Xcode will automatically annotate the message as warning or error:
