Objective-C Coding Convention and Best Practices

Most of these guidelines are to match Apple's documentation and community-accepted best practices. Some are derived some personal preference. This document aims to set a standard way of doing things so everyone can do things the same way. If there is something you are not particularly fond of, it is encouraged to do it anyway to be consistent with everyone else.

This document is mainly targeted toward iOS development, but definitely applies to Mac as well.

Eine pragmatische Lösung für das Übersetzungsproblem der Rails Methode distance_of_time_in_words(). Im Deutschen wird je nach Satzbau eine andere Ausgabe benötigt.
# ---
# Code gehört in app/helpers/application_helper.rb (oder einen anderen Helper…)
# ---
# Ausgabe: "Vor mehr als 5 Monaten"/"Vor etwa einem Jahr" — statt "Dauer: mehr als 5 Monate"/"Dauer: etwa 1 Jahr", wie es die Originalfunktion liefert
# Original-File: actionpack/lib/action_view/helpers/date_helper.rb, line 63
# Dokumenation: http://apidock.com/rails/v2.3.8/ActionView/Helpers/DateHelper/distance_of_time_in_words
# Changelog: I18n.with_options-Scope geändert auf "distance_in_words_gebeugt"
def distance_of_time_in_words_gebeugt(from_time, to_time = 0, include_seconds = false, options = {})
from_time = from_time.to_time if from_time.respond_to?(:to_time)
