		<description><![CDATA[My personal thought about UI vs. UX and how I have learnt to craft user experience through iOS development. I don’t remember when I began to hear the term UX, but definitely not when Windows eXPerience was introduced. I’m pretty sure all the hype about having great UX just started within the last two years. Before that, everything I knew about making websites emphasized mostly on good UI. But now, it’s simply not enough. What ever you do, it has to have great UX.]]></description>

With no background in compiled languages, I can't really tell what are the purposes of different files. Java programmer would have no problem understanding all the declarations like <em>@interface, @protocol, @implementation</em>. (Don't worry, my next post will talk about these in more details).
