Getting Your App Made Even If You’re Not A Programmer
If you have been struggling to learn iPhone and iPad development, or you want to develop an app — but don’t want to do any programming. You’re not alone.
I found this great article today that goes through how to get that iOS app done. The article goes into discovering what you as a non-programmer can bring to the table.
From what I’ve seen the key, which is also emphasized in this article is to have a really awesome prototype.
Great Beginner iPhone And iPad Dev Screencasts
Learning iPhone and iPad development can definitely be difficult, especially if you are not a professional software developer.
I receive e-mails every few days from people who tell me they’ve bought a book or number of books on Amazon or at the local bookstore. Unfortunately most of the “Beginner” material is meant for experienced developers who are new to the iPhone or iPad platform.
Easy iPhone and iPad Library For Communicating With Web Services – Open Source
Communicating with web services in your iPhone and iPad apps can be somewhat of a pain, and that’s why several open source libraries have been created to allow you to do just that.
While some of those libraries are good, I love it when someone comes up with something even easier. I found out on Twitter the other day about a great new open source library called Seriously which appears to be a very promising library for easy communication with web services and JSON parsing (XML parsing coming soon).
How To Add Turn Based Multiplayer Into Your iPhone Games Easily With Openfeint
I am a huge fan of multiplayer games. Especially on the iPhone… in fact at one time I did consider starting an app review site just for multiplayer games. The nature of multiplayergaming could also cause your game to go viral.
What I don’t like about multiplayer games is handling all the small details such as building a lobby for the players to find each other through, and making sure all the small details work. And in the end with an indie title you may not even know if there will be players who will play it multiplayer.
Easily Accommodate Different iOS Versions With This Clean Code
New versions of the iOS keep coming, and they aren’t going to stop.
With ever new version comes new features, and necessitates the need to adapt old code. In order to accommodate new features while keeping compatibility with older versions of iOS your code can start to look like a big mess of if statements. And make no mistake about it.. many people don’t regularly update their OS like us computer geeks so you are missing out if you only target one version of iOS — especially right now with the two different devices (iPhone and iPad) running different versions of iOS.
