I know that in iOS 5 there is automatic reference counting which takes away the need for all of this but it is very simple anyway.

Is it good practice to set an object to nil before you release it or is it vice versa where you release it then set it to nil?

Anyway, I just want to get rid of any possibilities of crashes in my app and I just want this way to prevent it.

Thanks!

    Calling release on nil accomplishes nothing.
