The first iPhone development results…

Finally! I have some screenshots available from my first iPhone application. It is working in the simulator and on the device itself. My license for Apple’s Developer Program has been accepted.

I can hardly imagine that people are saying iPhone development is so easy. Not in my experience, but maybe that is exactly the point. I am not a professional programmer, and probably also a little impatient. The results need to be there as quickly as possible…

Well, at least some of them are now. Thanks to AJVienna from Experts-Exchange for helping out with a memory bug (what else, in a C-language) I have got some results available now.

Added: gcole left some useful comments at the forum of iPhoneDevBook.com as well. Thanks, also for the link to Apple’s documentation on Objective C’s Object Ownership Policy.

The next step will be to implement a working detail-view for CAT and PICO. Afterwards, I need to take a look at the topics list… I use abbreviations now to have the text fit in the field. I would like to use subcategories, but there is an issue with the iPhone’s plist-files that I don’t understand yet.

Something for later… I learned my lessons the hard way: start working with real content as soon as you can, or you’ll be spending months on developing a technically great application that does not offer the clinical added value you hoped for. I rest my case! :-)
