iPhone & iPad: How to Make a Great App in 6 Easy Steps Last Updated Apr 5, 2011 2:01 PM EDT Think you could make a fortune building an iPhone or iPad app? You might be right. The web is riddled with stories about young developers who have made a mint by offering their games and applications through the iTunes store. You don't need a degree from MIT either. Consider Freddie Anne Hodges, 12, who was "obsessed" with two things -- how tall she was getting and her iPhone. The message: If a Dallas-based middle-schooler can create an iPhone app, so can you. You just need to follow 6 easy steps. Step 1: Find your niche © 2011 CBS Interactive Inc..
iOS 7 App Redesigns Fall Event Postmortem Last week Apple introduced 2 new iPad’s, the iPad Air (Probably the most interesting part of the event, more later) and the Retina iPad Mini. These announcements brought upon the usual spec upgrades, new A7 chip, upgraded cameras, and retina for the Mini. Buying an iPad mini is in no way a step down from buying an iPad Air. Apple also introduced much improved Retina Macbook Pro’s. Hardware wasn’t the only product to see some updates. iPad Pro Apple has always stated that they would rather be the ones that cannibalize their own products than someone else. “I see cannibalization as a huge opportunity for us,” Cook said Wednesday. Apple would rather cannibalize their own products than let someone else do it. Could this possibly be the iPad Pro? let’s not forget the rumors about a larger size iPad. I don’t know what this device will look like, but my hope is a 12inch touchscreen with a full sized keyboard in some revolutionary form factor. I can dream right?
Embracing the UX Spectrum As an industry, we have the tendency to think and talk about user experience design in either a Web or a software context, where the demand to humanize complex interactive systems has been the highest. But if we define a user as a person who uses a thing or a system, then the Web and software contexts represent just one space in which people have a “user experience.” Other equally important contexts abound, including products and services, advertising and marketing, gaming, and events and environments. In all contexts and throughout history, empathy, creativity, and systems thinking have played important roles in designing user experiences. It’s a new and rapidly growing field, and many members of our practitioner community have jumped over from related areas such as psychology, anthropology, marketing, graphic design, industrial design, programming, and computer science to lend a hand.

My first iPhone application Last month I wrote about some resources for learning Objective-C that I was using to learn how to write iPhone applications. Judging by the number of comments on that article, I thought that I should write a follow-up post about my progress and the status of my first iPhone application. Since I had a few programming classes in college (VB, C++), the logic of loops and decision statements was not a big hurdle. By using the learning resources like screencasts and books, I was able to get a better grasp of object-oriented programming (OOP) in general, and of course the syntax specific to Obj-C. I became familiar enough with Xcode just by using it for demo programs, and I used the wealth of iPhone developer resources from Apple to use the iPhone SDK. After paying $99 to Apple to enter into the iPhone Developer program, I was then able to access the forums; they were helpful in figuring out specific things (like how to preset a UIPickerView object).
