Create a nice little effect using CSS. When hovering over an element, such as an icon for instance, you can move it up the screen by a few pixels slowly while changing its color. When you're done, reset it. Nice little touch.

	//when hovering, change the cover and move the element up a few pixels
	color: #9ed846;
	transform: translate(0,-4px);
	-webkit-transform: translate(0,-4px);
	-o-transform: translate(0,-4px);
	-moz-transform: translate(0,-4px);
	-webkit-transition: all 0.5s ease-in-out;
	-moz-transition: all 0.5s ease-in-out;
	-o-transition: all 0.5s ease-in-out;
	-ms-transition: all 0.5s ease-in-out;

Large white activity animator inside UIView with greyed out background displayed in middle of screen. Could be included in an asynchronous NSURLConnection web call, for instance, and on the processing of the response, it could remove itself from its superview.

	UIView *activityContainer = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height)];
	activityContainer.backgroundColor = [[UIColor blackColor] colorWithAlphaComponent:.25];
	UIActivityIndicatorView *indicator = [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake((self.view.frame.size.width/2) - 40, (self.view.frame.size.height/2) - 40, 80, 80)];
	indicator.activityIndicatorViewStyle = UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleWhiteLarge;
	indicator.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
	[indicator layer].cornerRadius = 8.0;
	[indicator layer].masksToBounds = YES;
	[indicator startAnimating];
	[activityContainer addSubview:indicator];
	[self.view addSubview:activityContainer];

Super simple Python web server. Netcat and various other utilities make it so easy to run a simple web server on your machine, but so does Python.

	Here’s how you can run it on a Windows machine, but works quite well on Linux too (or Cygwin).

	C:\>python -m SimpleHTTPServer
	Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 ...
