This week Jon drives down that Road To Hell he paved with good intentions, and faces the fact that hope sucks and he'll never have time to do the things he wants to.
On the brighter side of the podcast, Spencer dives into various ways to make things move in your app, from screen transitions, interfacing with gestures to moving pictures around on the screen. This primer of the various popular animation libraries will help you get started, or at least familiarize yourself with the differences if/when you hear or read about them.
