So if you are interested in learning how it goes with Talk Binary, make sure you are subscribed. You have several options and they are at the top of our page, you can subscribe to our RSS feed or via e-mail. I even created a new category just for iPhone Development. So you’ll know where to look for all iPhone Development related material will be at.

Beginning iPhone 3 Development

UCR recently held a seminar from an iPhone developer from Apple and the presenter recommended Beginning iPhone 3 Development: Exploring the iPhone SDK. I remembered the exact book since I searched it on Amazon and it was the first entry under iPhone Programming. I was convinced on purchasing it primarily because the presenter did a good job on the presentation he gave. He talked about the iPhone platform, the market, some neat applications, and different ways you could make an application.

The interesting part of his presentation came when he actually showed us how to create a very simple application. The first one was a flashlight which required no coding since the blank screen is actually…well a blank application. That was nice to know. Then he showed us how to create a simple application with UCR’s alma mater and surprisingly enough, not many people in the crowd knew it. Way to go school spirit or was it because we were Computer Science students? Either way, this motivated me to go ahead and try development on my own since if he could make a simple application in half an hour, I could make a more sophisticated time with more time, right?.

School pride!

So what’s next for Talk Binary in iPhone Development?

Below is a rough sketch of my planning for my iPhone development so you kind of have an idea where I’m going.

• Learn the sdk
• Make a simple web application: mobile version of Talk Binary
• Come up with a simple game just to test the waters
• Create something more serious like a general utility app or a simple puzzle game

Also, if you want make sure to check out the book below at Amazon. I’ll be reviewing it once I take a good look at it. So make sure you keep updating on my progress since I’ll be sharing my experiences here! Until then.
