I’ve been hard at work recently developing my iPhone application called ipCalc. It’s probably not an application that most people are going to want to use, but it has fairly simple logic behind it so I decided that it would be a good way to learn about the iPhone SDK. So far I’ve managed to learn Objective-C and I can safely say that I really do like it, and I’ve also managed to get my head around programming GUI applications which is so very different to command line applications as there’s so much more to think about.

Apple have made it so that you have to pay $99 in order to get a license to test application on an actual device (for me, my iPod Touch) and to submit applications to the App Store. I seem to have managed to apply to this program, but my application is currently pending. I hope that I manage to get accepted because then I will decide what to do with my ipCalc application… I will have to think about whether or not I want to charge for it – although my first thoughts are that this application will be free.

So, I’ll continue to improve the application and I might even release some tutorials on here about my experiences with the iPhone SDK as I have definitely found other tutorials that are out there very useful!
