I'm releasing a series of OS iOS/Mac apps to show how they're built▲40
I'm a iOS and Mac developer and the thing that mostly bothered me when I first started learning Cocoa programming was the lack of full featured sample code. Now things have changed and more projects have been released, but I still want to do my part. I've already released Color Picker Pro for Mac: https://raw.github.com/oscardelben/Color-Picker-Pro This time I built a copy of the iPhone Calculator which (I hope) will be simple to follow for beginners: https://github.com/oscardelben/iPhoneCalculator I hope this will be useful to people who are learning Cocoa. Feedbacks are very appreciated.
