I've been learning iPad development lately. At first I was intimidated with : - The Objective-C language. - No garbage collection (retain / release stuff). - The whole X-Code / Interface Builder. - Their implementation of MVC and the libraries. Whew, it sure seemed like a lot but there are some resources that helped a ton. The iTunes Standford classes are wonderful. They tell you all of the things you need to know in perfect chunks, along with the little bits of information of "why". I was very glad to see their implementation of the MVC pattern. Their implementation was the very close to what I have been doing for years (13+ years). The over all philosophy is one that sync's with mine. - Keeping focused on the task. - Provide only what is needed. - Use strict patterns for the UI (Views, Controllers, Models). - Decouple different problem domains. Having fun....
Just some random (isn't it all) thoughts and doings in my life.
