I recently downloaded the iPhone Software Development Kit (SDK) and I’m really loving it. I’m a developer for the Mac and I’ve found iPhone development an easy transition because the iPhone tools are the same as the tools you use on the Mac.
When I code for the Mac I tend to use Applescript Studio (part of Xcode). Once I installed the SDK I dived straight into Xcode to see how it had changed. The UI seemed the same – except for the intro screen which now included iPhone info.
After looking through the online documentation I discovered that it costs $99 to become a registered iPhone developer. You need to be registered to have Apple put your apps in the store. Although Blue Pyjama is growing we aren’t actually getting any money through our doors so that $99 enterance fee put my dreams of being an App Store developer a bit further out of reach. (more…)
Two weeks ago I did a rant about how much I hated Xcode, but in the last 2 weeks I’ve finally managed to figure it out. Of course, being my easily distracted self, while learning Xcode I’ve also decided to try my hand at coding a website. So, now all of my anger at Xcode has found a new target: Web Development.
Apparently, me being a geek (or, maybe just an American) means that I get really mad at things that are too hard. Sure, it’s sounds kinda petty and childish, but really, is there any reason this stuff has to be so complicated? Not really, hence the problem, hence the anger, hence the blog post, hence the lengthy comments (sorry, I kinda forgot where I was going with that). (more…)
I, Keaton Brant, am proud to announce that I have finally finished a project that I have been working on for months. It’s been a tough road, I’ve had to devote many hours a day just to ponder the hugeness of this task, but I have finally done it. Yes, I have done what many have tried and failed to do, I have made a “Hello World” app in Xcode!
