The good news is anyone can make an iPhone app, it’s just a matter of knowing the series of actions you need to take to make it happen. What Is Your Goal? The first thing to look at when embarking on any product development or entrepreneurial venture is your goals for the project. Let’s look at an example. would not have planned in advance to hire help,would be unhappy with the time commitment required for him to take on the work personally.

Designing a Mobile App? Don't Make These 10 Mistakes So you've already learned how to navigate the tricky world of cross-platform app design and worked through all of the common pitfalls of developing your app. You have a vision, some inspiration and maybe even a name that you know will be perfect. So ... now what? It's time to get down to the nitty-gritty and begin designing the structure, flow and features that will combine to form your finished mobile app. But actually performing these tasks isn't easy — there are tons of moving parts and project management aspects to keep in mind during development. These mobile design “don’ts” will help any mobile designer avoid some messy obstacles, so make sure to keep them in mind. 1. Have a well-thought-out user flow ready to go before wireframes and designs begin. Another thing to pay attention to is making sure that key functional screens are close to the top rather than buried beneath multiple levels of navigational elements. 2. In other words, the design should not dictate the functionality.
Linux MPX Multi-touch Table May Become Alternative Microsoft Sur oolongengine - Project Hosting on Google Code - Iceweasel The Oolong Engine is written in C++ with some help from Objective-C.

POP - Prototyping on Paper | iPhone App Prototyping Made Easy Apple takes aim at Adobe... or Android? - Iceweasel The already strict requirements that must be met for an application to be published on Apple's App Store are set to take a turn for the worse, as Apple's NDA-protected license agreement has now updated an already annoying existing clause, Section 3.3.1, to make it even more offensive. The original clause stated: 3.3.1 — Applications may only use Documented APIs in the manner prescribed by Apple and must not use or call any private APIs. This clause has already frustrated developers in the past because there are tasks that developers would like to perform that can only be achieved through private APIs; though some have taken a risk and submitted applications that use such APIs, the result is often that the application is denied. 3.3.1 — Applications may only use Documented APIs in the manner prescribed by Apple and must not use or call any private APIs. Things just got a whole lot more restrictive for iPhone developers. The real enemy: Adobe The other real enemy: Google No real defense
The Open Source iPhone Game Engine Comparison | iPhone and iPad I’m often asked about which ios game engine to use, and I know most people are looking for a free game engine so here is a comparison of the different open source iPhone game engines that actually have apps out there. These game engines now also support the ipad. There are several open source game engines to choose from, and many cropping up all the time. On this page I have only listed those that I know have been used in games already available on the iPhone or iPad, and with just one exception I have chosen not to list those for which there are no apps available in the app store. The SIO2 game engine has been removed from this listing, as if you go to their site and attempt to download the open source legacy version all you get is a popup telling you to get the new engine — so if you are looking for information on the SIO2 engine please visit the commercial iphone and ipad game engine page. Moai SDK You can create your games with Moai on both Windows (Visual Studio) and Mac (Xcode). Haxe
Sizes of iPhone UI Elements How to detect the current device size and kind Other dimensions common to all screen sizes: Points vs. Apple introduced retina displays starting with the iPhone 4. iOS supports high resolution displays via the scale property on UIScreen, UIView, UIImage, and CALayer classes. To refer to an image in your code (or in Interface Builder), use the filename of the standard sized image. iOS will automatically detect and use the @2x version if the device supports it: imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"button.png"]; Adjusting Sizes Click here to see how to adjust View Frames and Bounds.
