The Part of Tens

In this part ...

I once had a boss who liked to hire smart-but-lazy people. He figured if he gave them a hard job they'd find an easy way to do it.

In this part, I show you some ways to (first) avoid doing more work than you have to, and (second) avoid redoing things because you outsmarted yourself. I take you on a tour of Apple's sample applications and point out where to look if you want to "borrow" some code to implement some piece of functionality (don't worry — it's strictly legit to do that). Then I show you where spending some up-front time doing app development the right way is definitely worth it.
