HOLIDAYS ARE COMING...

Off on holiday today to the mighty Cornwall. We're steaming along in our app development. We've bought books and come up with a shed-load of ideas - admittedly most of them have already been done alredy - but it's going well so far...

AND THEY'RE OFF...

So my iPhone development journey has begun.

Or it would be more true to say OUR iPhone journey has begun. I have secured a partner in good friend Paul Hurst (blog, twitter, flickr). Paul is like me in that he has a desire to develop for the iPhone and has absolutely no knowledge of how to do it. Magic.

Can two guys who don't know, get to the stage where they do know, and produce something interesting in the process? We shall see. It sure is going to be fun finding out anyway.

I'll keep you updated and, if we're successful, I'll be doing some tutorials because iPhone development tutorials are noticeably lacking.

In case you're thinking this is completely ludicrous (which maybe it kinda is), I DO have one thing going for me. I've managed to do this kind of stuff before. I've managed to learn Final Cut Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator and others to do what I do now. And while I wouldn't say I'm a master I think I'm doing ok considering.

I'll keep y'all posted.

iPHONE APP

I have decided to learn how to program an iPhone app. Not something too intense like a game or anything. It won't be easy as I have very little programming knowledge (and NO knowledge of the languages iPhone uses).

Why am I doing then? Put simply, because it's cool.

I know, I know. That's not a good enough reason to do anything. And, if I'm honest, there's more to it than that. I love learning and challenging myself to do new things, and I can think of a few ways I could use this.

But the main reason is it's cool.

So, I'm going to be scouring the internet for tutorials, templates, tips and any other help I can procure to get me on the road. I'm pretty sure there's going to be a lot of mistakes, tears and tantrums. AND to be honest, there may not even by an app at the end.

But it's worth a shot.

So, I shall keep you posted with my progress and foibles as I get along.

Any links or help will be greatly appreciated.

Any ideas what the app could be?
