How to prepare for the CISSP

Posted Oct 06, 2013 - 04:12 pm by Sandra Henry-Stocker

The CISSP is a valuable certification, but it takes a lot more than just your many years of experience to prepare for it.

Transitioning an iOS 6 design to iOS 7: A quick, helpful tip

Posted Oct 04, 2013 - 12:00 am by Matthew Mombrea

LIke it or not, iOS 7 is here and it’s not going anywhere. The next time you open a pre iOS 7 app in the new Xcode 5, you’re going to be prompted to upgrade the project for iOS 7.
