Naming things is hard

So let's work together

Instead of having one controller object that does everything, I've been trying to split things out into various task-focused. This means I have to come up with names for these objects, such as "CoverAnimationDriver", etc. Naming things is hard, so I want your help. Aside from domain-specific bag-of-properties model objects, what nouns have you used in class names? In my experience, these are usually used as a suffix on the class name.

Here's what I've come up with so far:

View
Controller
Manager
Data Source

A user is reporting a crash, and I cannot see how it could possibly be happening.

The code in question (in frame #18 below) is this:

NSFont *font = [NSFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica Neue" size:13];
// some other code
NSGlyph typicalGlyph = [font glyphWithName:@"e"];

Biscuit, the app that returns "beautiful" to Reddit.

Although Reddit is one of the most important communities in the Internet, its aesthetics might lead you to believe otherwise. To fix this problem, an app has been created.

We're talking about Biscuit, an app for iPad that profoundly changes the appearance of this social news website.

Reddit is a platform that allows any person to upload images, share news, or create topics for community debate. Other users can comment and contribute to the topic.

Biscuit transforms all this disorder into something more pleasant to the eyes. Following the minimalist line of Apple's products, it intends to organize all the articles and categories.

Must have a method similar to -addButtonWithTitle:handler:
Must still work if some buttons are added using the old -addButtonWithTitle: API.
Must still allow setting a delegate, and the delegate must work.

Note that #2 means that handler blocks must not simply be added to an array and located by button index, as there may be more buttons than there are handlers. This is a common error in popular implementations.

	You can't do this directly, but it can be done by using a hidden spacer view. (Here, viewC)

	viewC.left = viewA.left
	viewC.width = viewA.width * multiplier
	viewB.centerX = viewC.right


	Produces this.
	\|----------viewA----------\|
	\|-viewC-\|

	//The very slow, but more semantically correct way
	osascript -e 'tell application "VoiceOver" to activate'
	osascript -e 'tell application "VoiceOver" to quit'


	// The really fast way. (96 is the keycode for F5.)
	osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to key code 96 using command down'
