S is for Service

It is also for Single Responsibility Principle.

I have read a coupe of posts that I couldn't agree with more:

• MVCS
• You Are Not Ruthless Enough

Both of these articles talk about a topic I have been talking about for years.  Single Responsibility Principle. It is the first of the SOLID principles. I would go one step further and say if you are not doing TDD, you are still not ruthless enough. Do everything you can to make you and your code better. Some say "Stay Thirsty", I say "Stay Ruthless".

Chris Parker's post is better than I could ever write. Of course, anyone who quotes King Crimson is pure awesome in my book!

Enjoy!

NSScreenCast

Ben Scheirman has started NSScreencast, a great set of screen casts on Objective-C and iOS / Mac development. I really wish this was around when I was learning this! I have watched both videos and they are great. I really hope he continues this and it takes off.
