This
one is for all the Cocoa developers in the house (when I say 'Core' you say 'Data'!). Isn't writing your own auto
updating procedures for your applications a drag. Yeah, I though so.
Luckily, there is Sparkle! Andy Matuschak wrote up this little marvel that will allow you to add intelligent auto updating to your Cocoa applications in 5 steps. The price is right as well, as in free.
Why not give your applications a little Sparkle?
Want to create custom shortcuts? Head to the Keyboard Shortcuts tab of the Keyboard and Mouse part of System Preferences to create shortcuts for common tasks that appear in the Services menu. You can also add application shortcuts for tasks that appear in the menu bar of those programs.

This truly looks excellent. I just finished reading the PDF. I wish more apps would use this. Even though installing apps with an installer or just plain drag and drop nothing beats automatic updates.
I'll definitely use this in my app(s)!

I thought this was going to be about Pixen. Double Sigh. When you watch the video it show a download for Pixen r3b3 which from my knowledge is not real which is lame because i want it.
