Reduce iOS memory utilization by taming NSURLCache
If your iPhone or iPad app embeds UIWebViews or makes HTTP requests directly with NSURLConnection, it’s important to keep an eye on memory utilization by running it through the profiler occasionally. Web requests can use a lot of memory, and you may find the memory footprint grows and grows the more you use the app. […]
Initializing UIViewControllers
Most code samples that Apple provides for initializing a view controller look something like this: 
MyController *myController = [[MyController alloc] initWithNibName:@"MyView" bundle:nil]; This always felt like a strange pattern to me. And as Ole Begemann recently pointed out, it’s poor encapsulation. Why does the caller specify which .xib file some other controller should use? Isn’t […]
