Transcript
CESARE: By the way, I have a whole set of pictures of Starbucks bartenders trying to spell correctly my name and write it on the cup.
[Laughter]
CHUCK: Hey everybody and welcome to Episode 19 of The iPhreaks Show! This week on our panel, we have Pete Hodgson.
PETE: Insert amusing British culture reference here!
CHUCK: Ben Scheirman.
BEN: Hello from H-Town!
CHUCK: Andrew Madsen.
ANDREW: Hi from Salt Lake City.
CHUCK: Jaim Zuber.
JAIM: Hello from Houston! I’m not actually in Houston, but it feels like I’m in Houston.
[Laughter]
JAIM: It’s like 95 degrees out here in Minnesota. I could like call a van that’s full of ice cream or something, I don’t know.
CHUCK: [Laughs]
BEN: Yeah! It’s only 87 right now, so you’re actually hotter than us.
JAIM: I think we switched.
CHUCK: And humid?
JAIM: Humid? Not super humid, but yeah, pretty bad.
CHUCK: We also have Rod Schmidt.
ROD: Hello from Salt Lake City!
CHUCK: I’m Charles Max Wood from DevChat.tv. We have a special guest this way, and that’s Cesare Rocchi or Rocci.
CESARE: Rocci. Rocci. Right.
CHUCK: Rocci. Yeah, I knew that!
PETE: You almost did it!
CHUCK: I almost did it, yeah. I’m famous I guess for botching people’s last names, but I speak Italian and I read Italian, and Italian’s read like it’s written. Anyway, Cesare, since you’re new to the show, do you want to introduce yourself really quickly?
CESARE: Yes! I’m Cesare. Hello from my office, which is in Italy on East Coast in Rimini, to be exact. I’m a iOS developer, I got started in 2007, and yes, that’s before the SDK, the official SDK was released. I did a bunch of client work. Now, I’m focusing on my applications. I speak at conferences; I’ll be at CocoaConf in Boston at the end of October. I write books; my latest book is “iCloud for Developers” published by The PragProg. That’s all. There’s more, but that’s all at the moment.
CHUCK: [Laughs]
BEN: Is your book like a coping mechanism for iCloud?
[Laughter]
CESARE: Yeah, kind of. And yes, there is a chapter about Core Data and iCloud. And it’s not anti-pages.
CHUCK: [Laughs]
BEN: It’s not like, this page intentionally left link?
CESARE: No!
BEN: [Laughs]
CESARE: Though I thought of that [laughs].
CHUCK: It looks and feels like a big band aid for your pain that you have.
