Learning Objective-C and iOS
Monday, July 11, 2011 at 10:49AM I've finally taken a dive into Objective-C programming and have created my first iPhone app. Although it is an app, it really is the most basic an app can probably get. But it is something! You can select a date and the app will tell you what day of the week it is. I have a few ideas for my first "official" app and hope to get into that more in the next few of months.
I've been using lynda.com's online video tutorials to learn about object-oriented programming and to get familiar with Objective-C. Now that I have my basic understanding of the language, I've jumped into iOS development. I like Xcode quite a bit and it seems to offer a lot of functionality to ease the pain of writing and debugging code. Coming from classic ASP, HTML, and JQuery and not taking advantage of an IDE in the past, I'm really realizing I wish I would have been up to speed on this stuff sooner.
One of my goals this year was to write my first iPhone app and I'm definitely in the process of meeting that goal. I hope to be able to release something official by Christmas time. It won't be anything too fancy, but maybe a simple utility to help someone do something somewhere. :-P
