One of my favorite iPhone related sites to read is iPhone Developer Tips. The tutorials are outstanding and most importantly "real world" useful. Back in August there was a blog posted showing how to implement a "slideable" message that can be presented to a user. After reading through it I decided to modify how it was used to make it a little more extensible for an iPhone project that I am working. After I got everything working correctly and they way I wanted to I decided to contact the site owner, John, with all of my source code in case he wanted to use it. After a little more tweaking to my code he posted my changes, as well as another developer, Greg's code in a new post. This is a small example of the importance of using open source software, as well as, the importance for developers to use the knowledge and skills of other developers to make the good....GREAT.
