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....
