Abstract

The iPhone is easily one of the most enticing platforms for the new developer to try and stake their claim in the gold-rush environment that Apple has fostered on its application store. Unlike the Open Source realm, programming in the iPhone environment introduces its own complexities and Apple imposed restrictions upon the new developer. Drop in and learn about the issues I encountered during a semester of coding on the iPhone platform. I will discuss building an application from the inception to a working application, talk about the various issues faced along the way, and attempt to answer any questions you may have about bootstrapping your own attempts at finding fame and fortune in the iTunes AppStore.
