If you've been following this blog for a while, you'll remember that I talked about the importance of updates in a previous post (if you haven't read it, I invite you to go there, but you're welcome to do as you please 😛). When you've been working on a project for a long time, even if it's in production, you may need to make updates as the resources you're using evolve.

Well, happy new year! Admittedly, I'm a little late in wishing you a happy new year, but January is always the month for getting back into the swing of things, planning for the year and getting back in touch with just about everyone.

Personally, I use them a lot for apps that give me info at a glance like the weather, the day's to-do list, the calendar, et...
