Hi I've committed my code for the rotten tomatoes-ish app. Please review. :) /cc @thecodepath

After talking to Tim yesterday after class, I made some modification to my code: Instead of using the activity indicator that comes with xcode interface builder, I used a HUD I found online at cocoacontrols.com.

:+1: nice work. The point of this homework was to explore a simple example of a full MVC application with a RESTful API. A few notes after checking out the code:

• Nice code styling. The New York Times has a good summary of appropriate Objective-C coding conventions, you should take a quick look here.
• Nice work with the header files. You should always try to minimize the number of properties and methods in the header files and move all private properties and methods into the class extension (the @interface block in the .m file).
• You've probably noticed that the view controller files are getting to be pretty long. As the class progresses, we'll learn to start refactoring things out of that class. For example, all the networking and model deserialization code will go into the model classes. All the view manipulation and templating code will go into custom view classes.

In general, you should challenge yourself to create visually polished applications. That's where you'll find all the rough edges of the iOS framework and earn the next level of mastery.
