At my company we have numerous applications in which all deployments are done manually.

Is this how most deployments are done?

If not, what tools do you use?

Interested in particular to hear about Java enterprise deployments, but all are welcome.

Most people seem to find it difficult to discover quality apps in Apple's store. I find myself constantly downloading apps, finding out they are terrible and then delete them, rarely finding anything of quality. The best apps I find are one's that people tweet about or blog about.

So, what sources do you use to find your iOS app? Or what apps are your favorite?

My two current favorite apps are:

Downcast - podcasting app (https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/downcast/id393858566?mt=8)

Go RSS - Google Reader app (https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/go-rss/id579197528?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D2) - disclaimer it's my favorite Google Reader app because I wrote it.

As an avid Google Reader user I was really disappointed with the reading experience on my iPhone. I felt that the existing apps seemed to be more interested in adding features and cramming as much text into a small space rather than improving the readability of my feed and helping me decide which articles interest me or not.

So I created my own https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/go-rss/id579197528?ls=1&mt=8

I have a finite number of Promo Codes. So if you are an iPhone user and a Google Reader fan and want to check it out, email feedback@gobits.ca and I'll send you one (as long as supplies last).

I would love to hear feedback about what you like or hate.
