Right now - lightning talks get their own slots.

Before we included all lightning talks in the hour slot they were in.

We can still do this.

We section on the pseudo key slotName which is currently a string made up of:

start:yyyy-MM-dd start:HH:mm - end:HH:mm

We sort first on slotName then on room

If we can make the slotName of a lightning talk find it's hour then it will be in the correct section.

If we sort by slot name, room then slot start then sorting will be correct.

The issue is - how to know what slot I'm in - when retrieving. We do retrieve all slots first - so we have a list of available slots.

We need a method:

• (NSString *)getSlotNameForLightningSlot:(NSManagedObject *)slot (NSManagedObject *)conference;

We could move the generation of normal slot name to a method too - consistent

• (NSString *)getSlotNameForFullSlot:(NSManagedObject *)slot (NSManagedObject *)conference;

Note that we can look at the sessions format field for lightning or not - current values appear to be "lightning-talk" and "presentation"

So that we keep search at start.

If we get a network blip and get a nil back - don't wipe the database - the user probably wants to keep working :)

No idea why. When you come back from the settings view it sometimes disappears.

It's also prone to losing the spinner but keeping the label.

Seems very stable on the settings view.

Lightning vs. normal.

See javaBin/ems-redux#7

Both speaker item and speakerCollection

Search can for example trigger a refresh. Need to use activeConference session count directly.

Sharing page is now available - but doesn't include link to session on web. Not got enough information to build it yet.

We reload page on bio retrieve and biopic retrieve.

Use the javascript support of UIWebView to inject dom nodes instead.

Bad net connection - noticed missing bios. They're appearing when net is good. Make sure they're getting saved.

Work out missing dates where sessions avail.

Refs #49

Maybe give a download all bios or similar.

Lost on this one - how are we supposed to find out what colour codes incogito is using for keywords?

Currently alphabetical - we want beginner -> advanced. Might have to make a custom hard coded sort list (plist).

Cap-case the names in the search table too.

See javaBin/ems-redux#8

https://github.com/mikefrederick/MFSideMenu

Currently session has many speakers but speaker has one session.

Needs to be many to many.

Table cell is larger - perhaps list keywords? Or summary?

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10542097/implementing-fast-and-efficient-core-data-import-on-ios-5/

scope ? allow for title and author name scopes?

Perhaps invert the icon or something similar.

Some form for auto-refresh if it's been a long while? Background process.

EMS-redux has some kind of changelog for getting things changed since a given point in time.

If this app is to work fine without updates - then the users will need to be told that there is a new conference available. That's a refresh conferences call.

Perhaps have a user pref for last refreshed - and if it's been a month or two then check in the background - and prompt the user if a new conference is seen? Or just prompt based on time (and/or date - sometime in august) ?

Fine to do the refresh but don't reload the page if content not changed.

See custom keys
http://support.crashlytics.com/knowledgebase/articles/92520-how-do-i-use-custom-keys-

Use for things like "last detail session" or "last shared session" or "current conference"

Given that you're in a detail view - scroll up and down the corresponding list on the list view.

Perhaps a gesture - two finger swipe up and down? Not sure what the webview intercepts.

Use it as a filter when listing?

Or use it as list when viewing?

Might even be able to do both - change views on push or something.

We need to gracefully remove the database if migration fails - since it will when updating from app 2.x

Some rough notes.

NSURL *storeURL = [[self applicationDocumentsDirectory] URLByAppendingPathComponent:@"app.sqlite"];

NSDictionary *options = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[NSNumber numberWithBool:YES], NSMigratePersistentStoresAutomaticallyOption,
[NSNumber numberWithBool:YES], NSInferMappingModelAutomaticallyOption, nil];

NSError *error = nil;
_persistentStoreCoordinator = [[NSPersistentStoreCoordinator alloc] initWithManagedObjectModel:[self managedObjectModel]];
if (![_persistentStoreCoordinator addPersistentStoreWithType:NSSQLiteStoreType configuration:nil URL:storeURL options:options error:&error]) {

   //delete the sqlite file and try again
   [[NSFileManager defaultManager] removeItemAtPath:storeURL.path error:nil];

   //if the app did not quit, show the alert to inform the users that the data have been deleted
   UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] ....
   [alert show];

}

backgroundContextDidSave: performSelector in app delegate can and probably should be a dispatch_sync to main queue.

When close enough

Need to define the contents and style of about.html

Style headers similar to detail view (same style link)

• link to github for source
• link to github issues for problem reporting
• link to javazone and javaBin
• show agvtool based version and marketing version if I can get the values out easily
• describe usage of crashlytics
• describe usage of google analytics

Depends on #2

Retrievers will no longer call main thread.

Views retriever delegate method is then run in the background thread.

In the delegate method create a new model object using a new MOC using the existing PSC.

Model gets a "done" delegate that will trigger back to the main view in the view.

Handle merging back to main MOC
