Pagination 101

Article by Faruk Ateş, [originally on KuraFire.net][original] which is currently down

One of the most commonly overlooked and under-refined elements of a website is its pagination controls. In many cases, these are treated as an afterthought. I rarely come across a website that has decent pagination, and it always makes me wonder why so few manage to get it right. After all, I'd say that pagination is pretty easy to get right. Alas, that doesn't seem the case, so after encouragement from Chris Messina on Flickr I decided to write my Pagination 101, hopefully it'll give you some clues as to what makes good pagination.

Before going into analyzing good and bad pagination, I want to explain just what I consider to be pagination: Pagination is any kind of control system that lets the user browse through pages of search results, archives, or any other kind of continued content. Search results are the o

Now that the GateGuru team has been developing on the iOS 5 SDK for awhile, I thought I'd pull together some lessons learned.

• Declare your IBOutlet and IBActions within the private category within your implementation file. This makes them visible to interface builder without cluttering up the external interfaces and leaking implementation details.
• Declare your IBOutlet properties as (nonatomic, weak). The weak reference implies a non-owning reference and ARC will nil it as necessary.
• Delegate properties should be (nonatomic, weak) as well.
• The designated initializer for UIView's is initWithFrame: when initialized programmatically. When loaded from a Storyboard or custom Nib, it is initWithCoder:
• The designated initializer for UIViewController's is initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil when initialized programmatically. It is initWithCoder: when loaded from a Storyboard or Nib.
