Tomorrow on campus will be our annual Apple Tech Day. This is a nice day with workshops and the like. I've been looking forward for this for a long time because I'm in the middle of developing a Mobile Safari Web App for the Merrill-Cazier Library. I chose to do this, because it will be easier to program as a web app and then program it in Objective-C for the iPhone.
The SDK I'll be using is Dashcode. This is a really neat development tool that Apple developers use everyday. To program in Dashcode, all you need to know is HTML, Javascript, and CSS. Once you have that, you're ready to program for it.
Tomorrow, one of the seminars is on iPhone development. I'm excited to get people on campus involved in developing for mobile devices. Here's my iPhone app so far. You'll notice that it already looks like an app, but it's actually a web page. There are some CSS libraries and Javascript code specific for iPhone that one can implement to give users the feeling that the app is a standalone application. This is one of the topics that I'll be posting a lot about because this is what I really like to do. Stay tuned.
