atvHelloWorld - AppleTV2 1-click build and deploy Xcode 4 sample project

As presented at 360iDev Denver 2011, atvHelloWorld is an Xcode project I developed to illustrate how amazing the AppleTV2 could be if Apple ships an AppleTV SDK and adds AppleTV apps to the AppStore. Huge doesn’t even begin to describe the opportunity (more on that later…). To get the source, head over to github and pull or fork to your hearts content:

OBD2Kit - Open source automotive diagnostics library for iOS

OBD2Kit is an iOS library I created for my startup FuzzyLuke. After realizing there wasn’t such a huge market for this stuff beyond hobbyists I decided to open source the core library I had created. The result is a reusable library for integrating OBD-2 diagnostics for WiFi and GoPoint GL1 automotive scanners into your own iOS applications. In the coming months I will be adding more documentation and sample applications so that others may hopefully see some use out of this code. Here’s some OBD-2 primer links if you have no idea what I’m talking about:
