根据用户需要对字符串进行排序

在对要呈现给用户的字符串进行排序时，不应该使用简单的compare:方法。相反，你应该总是使用本地化比较方法，如localizedCompare:或localizedcaseinsensitiveecompare:。

有关详细信息，请参见搜索、比较和排序字符串。

不要忘记NSWindowController和NSViewController会释放它们所控制的NIB文件的顶级对象。

如果手动加载NIB文件，则在使用完该NIB的顶级对象后，需要负责释放它们。

黄金法则:如果你分配了，那么你就释放了!

更新:除非你正在使用ARC

我已经开始做的一些事情，我认为不是标准的:

1)随着属性的出现，我不再使用“_”作为“私有”类变量的前缀。毕竟，如果一个变量可以被其他类访问，不应该有一个属性吗?我一直不喜欢“_”前缀，因为它会让代码变得更丑，现在我可以把它去掉了。

2)说到私有的东西，我更喜欢把私有方法定义放在.m文件的类扩展名中，就像这样:

#import "MyClass.h"

@interface MyClass ()
- (void) someMethod;
- (void) someOtherMethod;
@end

@implementation MyClass

为什么要用外人不应该关心的东西把.h文件弄得乱七八糟呢?empty()适用于.m文件中的私有类别，如果您没有实现声明的方法，则会发出编译警告。

3)我已经开始把dealloc放在。m文件的顶部，就在@synthesize指令的下面。你在课堂上想要思考的事情不应该排在最前面吗?在iPhone这样的环境下尤其如此。

3.5)在表格单元格中，为了性能，使每个元素(包括单元格本身)都不透明。这意味着在所有内容中设置适当的背景颜色。

3.6)当使用NSURLConnection时，作为一个规则，你可能很想实现委托方法:

- (NSCachedURLResponse *)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection
                  willCacheResponse:(NSCachedURLResponse *)cachedResponse
{
      return nil;
}

我发现大多数web调用是非常单一的，这是一个例外，而不是规则，你会希望响应缓存，特别是web服务调用。实现如下所示的方法将禁用响应缓存。

同样有趣的是，Joseph Mattiello的一些关于iPhone的好建议(从iPhone邮件列表中收到的)。还有更多，但这些是我认为最有用的(注意，现在有几个比特已经从原始的轻微编辑，以包括在回复中提供的细节):

4)只有在必要时才使用双精度，比如在使用CoreLocation时。确保常量以“f”结尾，以使gcc将它们存储为浮点数。

float val = someFloat * 2.2f;

当someFloat实际上可能是double类型时，这是非常重要的，你不需要混合模式数学，因为你在存储上失去了'val'的精度。虽然iphone的硬件支持浮点数，但与单精度相比，执行双精度算术可能仍需要更多时间。引用:

iPhone上的Double vs float iPhone/iPad双精度数学

在老式手机上，计算的速度应该是相同的，但你可以在寄存器中使用更多的单精度组件，所以对于许多计算来说，单精度最终会更快。

5)设置你的属性为非原子的。默认情况下，它们是原子的，在合成时，将创建信号量代码以防止多线程问题。99%的人可能不需要担心这个，当设置为nonatomic时，代码就不会那么臃肿，内存效率更高。

6) SQLite can be a very, very fast way to cache large data sets. A map application for instance can cache its tiles into SQLite files. The most expensive part is disk I/O. Avoid many small writes by sending BEGIN; and COMMIT; between large blocks. We use a 2 second timer for instance that resets on each new submit. When it expires, we send COMMIT; , which causes all your writes to go in one large chunk. SQLite stores transaction data to disk and doing this Begin/End wrapping avoids creation of many transaction files, grouping all of the transactions into one file.

此外，如果GUI在主线程上，SQL将阻塞它。如果你有一个很长的查询，最好将查询存储为静态对象，并在单独的线程上运行SQL。确保将修改数据库查询字符串的任何内容包装在@synchronize(){}块中。对于简短的查询，为了更方便，只需将内容留在主线程中。

其中一些已经被提到过，但以下是我能想到的:

Follow KVO naming rules. Even if you don't use KVO now, in my experience often times it's still beneficial in the future. And if you are using KVO or bindings, you need to know things are going work the way they are supposed to. This covers not just accessor methods and instance variables, but to-many relationships, validation, auto-notifying dependent keys, and so on. Put private methods in a category. Not just the interface, but the implementation as well. It's good to have some distance conceptually between private and non-private methods. I include everything in my .m file. Put background thread methods in a category. Same as above. I've found it's good to keep a clear conceptual barrier when you're thinking about what's on the main thread and what's not. Use #pragma mark [section]. Usually I group by my own methods, each subclass's overrides, and any information or formal protocols. This makes it a lot easier to jump to exactly what I'm looking for. On the same topic, group similar methods (like a table view's delegate methods) together, don't just stick them anywhere. Prefix private methods & ivars with _. I like the way it looks, and I'm less likely to use an ivar when I mean a property by accident. Don't use mutator methods / properties in init & dealloc. I've never had anything bad happen because of it, but I can see the logic if you change the method to do something that depends on the state of your object. Put IBOutlets in properties. I actually just read this one here, but I'm going to start doing it. Regardless of any memory benefits, it seems better stylistically (at least to me). Avoid writing code you don't absolutely need. This really covers a lot of things, like making ivars when a #define will do, or caching an array instead of sorting it each time the data is needed. There's a lot I could say about this, but the bottom line is don't write code until you need it, or the profiler tells you to. It makes things a lot easier to maintain in the long run. Finish what you start. Having a lot of half-finished, buggy code is the fastest way to kill a project dead. If you need a stub method that's fine, just indicate it by putting NSLog( @"stub" ) inside, or however you want to keep track of things.

我看到的苹果提供的示例将App委托视为一个全局数据存储，一种数据管理器。这是错误的。创建一个单例，并在App委托中实例化它，但不要将App委托用作应用程序级事件处理以外的任何东西。我衷心赞同这篇博客文章中的建议。这条线索暴露了我。
