Objective C Programming Basics

February 19th, 2012 No comments

Objective C is not too difficult of a language once you have the basics down. If you’re new to Objective C, I recommend you check out this tutorial from Apple that will help you learn the basics.

The article includes an overview of the following:

  • History
  • Advantages
  • Classes and Objects
  • Methods and Messaging
  • Declared Properties and Accessor Methods
  • Blocks
  • Protocols and Categories
  • Defined Types and Coding Strategies

All in all, it should be a good place to get you started: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#referencelibrary/GettingStarted/RoadMapiOS/Languages/WriteObjective-CCode/WriteObjective-CCode/WriteObjective-CCode.html

Also, I recommend you become an active participant on StackOverflow. It is a great community for asking and answering questions and there is a lot of support for iPhone development and Objective C there (stackoverflow.com).

Good luck!

iPhone Application (app) Development for Beginners – How To Get Started?

February 19th, 2012 No comments

I’m often asked the questions “How can I get started creating iPhone apps?” or “What’s the best way to start developing for iOS?” Well, this post is for you.

This week I ran across a website put together by Apple to help guide new iPhone developers through the complicated process of developing their first application.

Here is the link to the site: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#referencelibrary/GettingStarted/RoadMapiOS/Introduction/Introduction.html

This site was created to help you from the very beginning with tutorials for installing the XCode development platform. The site includes tutorials for creating a basic ”Hello World!” application. You will find tips about user interface, Objective C, and the tools you have at your disposal. Lastly, the site shows you how to upload your app and submit it to Apple for their approval.

I hope you’ll find this site helpful. Good luck!
