Effective Use of Open Source Software Ash Furrow, Teehan+Lax @ashfurrow

Agenda 1. How to Choose a Library 2. Traditional library
management sucks 3. CocoaPods is the new hotness 4. Getting started is easy 3
Premise: using open source is good (more like “promise” amirite)
Why?
Why? • Build applications faster • Write less code •
Build better applications • Expose yourself to other devs’ code 6
“Library”?
None
None
None
File Management
None
This is a bad idea.
A Bad Idea • Dependency management Hell • Lack of
separation of code • No versioning of libraries • Per-file compiler flags 14
Git Submodules
Git Submodules • A submodule is like a pointer to
another repo • Another repo at a specific point in its history • Checks out code into your directory • Submodule interface is not mature • Still have to specify per-file flags • Requires command-line interface 16
None
None
Git Subtree I don’t even.
Git Subtree
CocoaPods
CocoaPods • Manages versions and dependencies • Solves a lot
of problems with file-management • Easy to use 22
CocoaPods is to Objective-C as RubyGems is to Ruby
What is a CocoaPod
CocoaPods • A CocoaPod is a file that specifies a
library • Name, dependencies, version, etc • CocoaPods is a tool to manage these specs 25
How does this work?

Best Practices • Don’t check in your Pods directory •
Use .gitignore • Specify explicit version numbers • Inhibit pod warnings 40
Demo
Creating a Library
Creating a Library • Specify a license • Write a
good README • Include screenshots • Include sample library usage • Keep files organized 43
