The writing mixes hands-on Apple platform details, such as TipKit and UITabAccessory compatibility, with candid personal posts, giving readers a long-running record of one developer's practice. The archive back to 2007 rewards browsing, though the site is a personal blog rather than a tutorial hub,

Site introduction

furbo.org is the personal writing site of Craig Hockenberry, an app maker and website operator. Rather than a product page or a company blog, it is a long-running place for essays, technical notes, and personal updates, with an About page that links to his résumé, source code, and social profiles.

The core of the site is its Recent Writing feed and a deep archive going back to 2007. Posts range from practical Apple development topics, like TipKit usage and UITabAccessory backward compatibility, to reflections on health and the year behind him. Readers can subscribe via RSS in XML or JSON and search the archive.

It suits iOS and Apple platform developers who want field notes from an experienced practitioner, as well as readers who have followed Hockenberry’s work over the years and enjoy a personal, opinionated voice. Those looking for structured courses or documentation will not find them here.

A good approach is to start with the recent posts, then use the yearly archive to follow a topic over time, and subscribe to the RSS feed for new writing. The site is a personal blog, so treat the posts as experience and commentary rather than formal reference material.
