Can anyone guide me how can I achieve the card like effect in screenfeeder app?
To more specific, I have use the core data to store the book entity. I know how to use the tableviewcontroller to display the books list from core data. But I wish to use the card like effect in screenfeeder to display the books list and I have no clue how to get started.

I want to display data like most social network apps use now. They use a lot of separated frames. In each frame it has texts, pictures, buttons and something else. I absolutely don't know how to do this. I think I can use table view and use grouped style (remove group name label) to display it but I don't know whether I can put button on it and whether it is the smartest way to fix my problem.
Can you explain clearly for me or just give me tutorial, links or something related to it?
An experience shared by a Facebook developer on how they built the iOS app.
https://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-engineering/under-the-hood-rebuilding-facebook-for-ios/10151036091753920
I want to make something similar to facebook tag mechanism. I will display an image of a building to the users and i want them to be able to tag themselves in which room they are at the moment. The location would be sent to a web server so all users can see other's location. Is that possible and how? Thanks in advance.
It is likely to be possible.
I can suggest the following solution: store the building photo/scheme AND rooms information on server.
In your App, you will display image (perhaps in ScrollView), there you will have just TapGestureRecognizer which will recognize the room, depending on coordinates of tap.
In case of this solution, you will have to manually store information about each tap-zone corresponding to a room. But that's the most likely case.

On the tab bar, there's a "Recents", which will record anything you've viewed.
I'd like to create that for my web app, a shopping guide. Users check out various shops from a list, and when they select to view a shop, it'll be recorded. Sort of like a browser History.
I know it'd be too much to ask for an entire code, so can someone just push me in the right direction? Like explain to me how to get started, what I need to know or better yet point me to any examples out there (I've yet to find one)
Thanks!
Try using Ext.data.Store in Sencha Touch to create a data store of your user's browsing history. When they view a shop, add it as an item in the store. You will need to create an Ext.data.Model to describe a view action. You can also sync stores with your backend. It's all in the Sencha Touch Docs.
The MVC example uses a store (I think) if you need an example.
you can look at Sencha Touch 2 getting started documentation. there are History Support section. Hope this help. good luck ...
I am trying to create a user control that basically looks and feels like fb chat contacts list complete with friends lists and online/offline toggle buttons. How should I proceed??
I'd search codeproject.com for "Chat example" or "Chat application" and go from there.
You've got two elements.
1) the chat app (and underlying functionality)
2) the UI (ie making it "Look" like fb).
For underlying chat functionality, there's lots of example code out there.
Making it look like FB? That's just a question of skinning.
I am writing a Boxee App and I want to list all albums for a picasa account.
The problem I'm facing is that I have no idea of how to list albums and photos in the Boxee app.
The application itself should be fairly simple:
First a main screen where all your albums are listed, then when you click an album you see all your photos in a grid of say 4x5 photos
When you click a photo you go in to a view where one photo is displayed on the whole screen where back and forward lets users go back and forth in that gallery.
I have wrote a simple wrapper arround the gdata photos Python API which I was aiming to use so hopefully all the heavy lifting will be done by the gdata API.
Does anybody have some good links to example applications or tutorials to one or more of the features I want in the application?
Boxee uses an XML based approach for describing an application's interface. You'll need one XML for each screen of your application and you'll connect them together using the API.
You would build this XML screens using various controls defined by the XML API. Basically a control (a button, a list, a label, etc) is described as an XML node with attributes and child nodes. You can check a list of all the available controls here: http://developer.boxee.tv/UI_Controls
You can use the Python API to control various properties of the UI elements you coded in your XML files. For example you could fill a list with photos taken from a server, you could change the label on a button, load another screen and much more. Here are the Python API specs: http://developer.boxee.tv/Python_API
Make sure you read trough the Boxee dev pages and also remember that Boxee originated from the XBMC project so most of the documentation regarding XBMC skinning (http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Skinning_XBMC) also applies to Boxee.
Another thing that might help you is looking at other apps. Find an app that is somehow similar to what you want to do, find it in Boxee's app folder and peek at the code there.
