Floyd’s Thoughts…

A while ago we developed a simple Twitter Client to scratch a personal itch I had with the existing clients.

The idea was to have a simple app that loaded really quick and enabled me to post a status update to twitter, using a full screen view that contained just a keyboard and a text box.

I also wanted it to rotate nicely in to landscape when I rotated the IPhone.

Seems simple ey? yet all the good twitter clients have really poor implementations.

This is what the App looks like:

This project will show you how to do the following things:

• Draw a custom control (TextField)
• Use a Fliped Transition (settings view)
• Save and fetch user defaults
• Custom Rotation logic to position elements manually
• Animation, the tweet text field animates away when you click Post
• Integrating with a 3rd party code base (MGTwitterEngine)
