Xcode User Default Reference
The Mac OS X user defaults system allows you to specify the values of program settings through your shell command editor instead of the program’s user interface (such as in the Preferences window). This facility allows program developers to give users access to features in early development or that may require particular knowledge to use properly. You use the defaults(1) command to access these settings. The Xcode application has several of these settings, which are also known as expert preferences or expert settings.

iPhone Application Tutorial
Delegation is a pattern where one object periodically sends messages to another object specified as its delegate to ask for input or to notify the delegate that an event is occurring.

Structural Design Patterns and .NET Framework 2.0
There are many uncertainties in identifying and applying suitable design patterns while designing applications. Our goal is to investigate applications of design patterns in .NET Framework. Among the seven structural patterns described by Gang of Four (GOF), we have discussed five patterns from .NET perspective. As there is no official documentation available on the patterns used in the latest version of .NET Framework (version 2.0) currently, this study would be beneficial for .NET designers in understanding patterns behind the framework, which in turn would help them in applying relevant patterns while developing their aplications in .NET Framework.

Step-by-Step Guide to Integrating OpenAuth into Your ASP.NET Web Application
No matter what kind of Web application you build, the process always seems to start in the same place: managing user accounts. Writing a file-sharing application for the Web? You begin by identifying who is uploading the file. Writing a chat application for the Web? You have to know who will use the chat session, so you can give them access. Because the Web is inherently multi-user, any application you build is going to require managing a list of users.
