From the iPhone

I can imagine that being able to blog from my iPhone might be handy at some point in the future. But of all the ways to compose content, this is by far the least effective.

A long time coming: iPhone development guides

One ridiculous period of closed development later, our trusted development guide publishers are beginning to release iPhone SDK development guides. Being as how I learned 92% of what I know about programming from books, a subject for which there do not exist (and are not allowed) authors is a sad state of affairs.

But those days are now (almost) behind us. Cheers.

Finally, a starting point

Here I am, persevering as usual. Presently I’m trolling my way through the iPhone Reference Library, fishing for some semblance of an organized tutorial on application development. I’m sure that if you have a background in Cocoa or Objective-C, then you’re several steps ahead of me. Java and PHP experience aren’t lent well to this iPhone stuff.

But tonight I did finally find somewhere to start (reading, that is, as I’ve been playing with Xcode and documentation for about 40 hours now). Keep in mind that you will need to sign up for an Apple Developer Connection (ADC) account before you can access this document.
