How to Make an iPhone App: Part One
See part two on coding your App. Love it or hate it, it's tough to argue about the success of the Apple App Store. While this venture might be a successful cash cow business model for Apple, how does business fare for the app developer? Pretty good, it turns out. One of the poster children for successful app development is Joel Comm. Those are some pretty sobering statistics to digest while standing in the unemployment line. Making an Apple iPhone/iPod Touch app is not a venture that should be undertaken lightly. Financial investment: you will need an Intel-based Mac computer with Mac OS X 10.5.5 Leopard for developing your app, as well as a couple of test devices (preferably both an iPhone and an iPod Touch). Granted, there are a couple of corners that you could cut for reducing development costs. First things first, though; let's build a machine that's able to support the iPhone SDK app development environment.
I've Been Using Evernote All Wrong. Here's Why It's Actually Amazing
For years, I kept hearing how awesome Evernote was: how it could store everything you possibly needed, make it available everywhere, and how scores of people couldn’t live without it. I tried it multiple times, and never saw the appeal until now. Here’s what I was missing. [jump] Any time we talk about Evernote, a good number of you say the same thing: you’ve tried it time and time again, but you could never really “get into it.” The More You Add, the More Useful Evernote Becomes Let’s start with the most important trick: In order to see why everyone likes Evernote, it’s important to take advantage of everything it has to offer (rather than use it as just another note taker).

How to build your own Alexa-like personal assistant
Voice and natural language systems are an important step toward making our digital servants serve us on our terms. We went from punch cards to green screens to GUIs and eventually to touch-based, palm-sized, location- and context-sensitive computers in the form of smartphones (not to mention those annoying smart-car panels). Now we have Apple’s Siri, Amazon’s Alexa, Microsoft’s Cortana, and Google’s Assistant answer our needs. To build voice and natural language capabilities into your own applications, you have several cloud options. For Alexa, you can tap into an open API at no apparent cost beyond AWS charges; the same goes for Google, although the Google Cloud site is as clear as mud on this point. But why lock yourself into Amazon’s or Apple’s or anyone else’s platform to get these capabilities? Andrew C.
