instagram's Introduction

Project 3 - Instagram

Instagram is a photo sharing app using Parse as its backend.

Time spent: 18 hours spent in total

User Stories

The following required functionality is completed:

  • User can sign up to create a new account using Parse authentication
  • User can log in and log out of his or her account
  • The current signed in user is persisted across app restarts
  • User can take a photo, add a caption, and post it to "Instagram"
  • User can view the last 20 posts submitted to "Instagram"
  • User can pull to refresh the last 20 posts submitted to "Instagram"
  • User can tap a post to view post details, including timestamp and caption

The following optional features are implemented:

  • Run your app on your phone and use the camera to take the photo
  • Show the username and creation time for each post
  • User can use a Tab Bar to switch between a Home Feed tab (all posts) and a Profile tab (only posts published by the current user)
  • User Profiles:
    • Allow the logged in user to add a profile photo
    • Display the profile photo with each post
  • Style the feed to look like the real Instagram feed

Please list two areas of the assignment you'd like to discuss further with your peers during the next class (examples include better ways to implement something, how to extend your app in certain ways, etc):

  1. Parse queries
  2. PFImageView

Project Feedback!

Nice work and congrats on completing your final assignment! Parse is a great tool for quickly prototyping the backend for many apps. Even if you choose to ultimately replace Parse with a more conventional backend (e.g., Rails, Django, Node.js), that wouldn't really change the iOS code.

At this point, even though we've been building fairly simple iOS apps, we've covered a lot of the core concepts involved in iOS development. A lot of time and code in modern iOS apps is spent putting on the final 10% of polish, which is surprisingly time consuming and technically challenging. Here's a few additional topics that we didn't cover, but you should look into if you want to continue iOS development:

  • Core Data. This isn't used by Facebook and many other companies, but is still asked about in iOS interviews.
  • Multithreading. Grand Central Dispatch and NSOperationQueue.
  • Custom Views. We used custom views via pods, and eventually you'll need to make your own!
  • Custom Interactive View Controller Transitions. If you're tired of view controllers animating in from the right or from the bottom, then you'll need to implement transitions yourself.
  • Gesture recognizers. We used a few tap gesture recognizers, and you'll also commonly need to use the pan and pinch gesture recognizers.
  • Unit and integration testing. Once you're in an actual company (or earlier!), you'll need to start actually testing your code.
