The Jevin Kones™ blog

It’s really cold in Portland, lately.  I guess it was 17 degrees fahrenheit when I left for work this morning.  I guess the cold weather inspires blogging.  My wife is even considering starting a blog all of a sudden.

Anyway, I’ve decided to get back into iPhone development.  Lately, at my day job (no, I’m not an actor or musician by day…sorry for any confusion) I’ve been experimenting with iPhone apps for clients.  I’m beginning to fall in love with X-Code, as well as Objective-C.  I don’t want to say this, but I need to be honest… I am having as much fun with iPhone development as I have ever had developing Flash applications and sites.  It’s pretty awesome.  In a way, it’s bringing me back to my C# days.  It’s awesome how powerful the iPhone SDK is.  Seriously, it’s pretty incredible.

I plan on writing more posts on my experiments and experience, hopefully to announce a released app in the App Store.  :-)

Until then, sayonara!

Yesterday, I followed Keith Peters’ iPhone tutes at http://bit-101.com/ and also applied for the developer’s license from Apple.

Today, I received my Beginning iPhone Development – Exploring the iPhone SDK from my Amazon order a couple of days ago.  My one concern about this book when I ordered it was that it wouldn’t be up to date for iPhone OS 2.2.  My concern has been put to rest and I completely recommend this book.

The book is good.  I have built some simple physics animations and simple data handling.  I’m starting to grasp Objective-C and XCode really well.  Nice.

I will undoubtedly have some tutorials on this at some point soon.  Stay tuned!
