On a quest to learn programming for the iPhone

Well I have secured everything that I need to begin to learn how to code apps for the iPhone.
  1. iPhone - Check, purchased one in April and am completely hooked now
  2. Guiding Text - Check, ordered Beginning iPhone Development Exploring the iPhone SDK from Apress by Dave Mark and Jeff LaMarche
  3. Mac Computer - Check, Thanks to JohnDan Johnson-Eiola I am borrowing a Macbook for the summer. Knowing me I will more than likely be hooked by the end of the summer and want one of my own so I will have to put in a lot of hours on a freelance job to be able to aford one.
  4. iPhone SDK Software - Check, I downloaded the 2.2.1 version yesterday and have successfully run through my first interface lesson in the text.

I also have to sign up to become a registered iPhone developer if I hope to do anything with the apps I create. For now I just have to keep plugging my way through the text and make some headway. So far the process was pretty easy and I look forward to continuing. I forsee lots of late nights in my future. I will keep you posted on my progress.

  1. Can you give us a brief walk-thru during class about the iPhone SDK tutorials?
