Fetches Twitter stream for given HashTags

README.md

Introduction:

• This project fetches tweeter data for given word/tag/user

Learning Objective:

• Here the objective is primarily to demonstrate use of Table View for more complex use cases

How to use:

• Open "twitMe" application

Technical Highlights:

• Custom TableViewCell
• AutoLayout
• Asynchronous Programming for fetching data from internet
• NSDateFormatter
• TextField Delegate
• Pull To Refresh
• UITextView in a TableViewCell

Top Tips discovered during implementation:

• Disabling ScrollViewEnabled helps UITextView to calculate its intrinsic contentsize.
• UITextLabels are not helpful for enabling link clicks. One needs to Use UITextView along with AttributedString
• One needs to set Image Height for making UIImageView to not expand infinitely
• Set a dummy Image to UIImageView in storyboard to make sure new image would be updated at runtime.

Status:

• Complete.

Desired Further Enhancement:

• Connect the app to download realtime twitter stream
