It is not Open Source ($39 per year) but full source code is available to download for free (with ads).

Trust me, the code is no WordPress. It is all over the place. It looks like 10 developers worked on it with 20 different best practices!

But it works well, has blogs, forums, video, voting, polling and much, much more. If you need something up quickly, try it!

There is hardly any developer documentation so you are on your own but once you get how it works you can do a ton with it.

The admin rocks! It allows a novice to customize their site.

3.5 stars.

Here are the steps:

1. Create a new project that is a “View-Based Application”.

2. Add the “QuartzCore Framework and the CoreAnimation Framework” to your application (right click on the “frameworks folder” and click Add and then “Existing Frameworks”

3. Edit your ViewController header file and add “#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>”.

4. I’ll use a URL and place it in a UIImage instance. (google logo)

NSURL *url =
[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif"];
UIImage *displayImage =
[[UIImage alloc] initWithData:[self getImageData:url]];

2. Create a new layer (I am using a ViewController which is the owner (self).

CALayer *layer;
self.layer = [CALayer layer];

4. Create a CGRect to fix the display frame.

layer.frame = CGRectMake(18.0f, 150.0f, 276.0f, 110.0f);

5. Place the UIImage onto the layer. Note: You have to use the “CGImage” method to return a CGImage rather than a UIImage. Otherwise it won’t work. Casting is also required (id)

self.layer.contents = (id)[displayImage CGImage];

6. Add this new layer as a Sublayer to the current ViewControllers ‘view’ layer.

[self.view.layer addSublayer:self.layer];

7. Since we allocated the UIImage we need to release it.

[displayImage release];

I highly recommend the Pragmatic Studio. Bill Dudney and Daniel Steinberg are top notch instructors.
