Hello Readers!
As ye all know, I have been a web developer and a programmer for quite a while, It was the same until I discovered the new iPhone Technology which revolutionized my life to an extent. Maybe I over exaggerated a bit, but hey! I love to make things work and create designs and code that make lives easier in some form or the other.
I have ranted enough for now! Let's get started with the basics. Why switch from being a web developer to an iPhone developer. It's been almost over a year since I have been working as an iPhone developer making quite a lot of applications everyday!
It's like I eat, sleep, wake up with iPhone Applications. I am almost addicted!!!( gotta have me in for a iphone drug test, anyone has any app for that yet? lol jk?)
Alright, Alright! I know I got distracted again. Getting back to the topic!
Web design and development has a basic pattern which is very similar to iPhone. Any layman who has knowledge about dreamweaver can easily confuse it with XCode IDE, with the exception of not having a design display. Coding in Xcode is not as simple and easy, but when you see the finished product, it's all worth it. iPhone follows a similar Usability/Accessibility Analysis approach, with a few variations of course, followed by the common implementation procedures based upon a layer of design associating them both to give us the finished product which is supposed to look wonderful! ( in most cases where you are willing to understand new creative ideas)
Hey! Stop yawning! Let's make it more interesting with pictures and videos!
Let's start with Did you knows...?
Did you know that some kids are excellent iPhone developers ( well as far as basics are concerned, they are not complex coders, but impressive)
Here is a kid with youtube id 'simple SDK' who is teaching us adults how to start ( not to be abrupt, i did take my basic lessons from him aswell, so hail simpleSDK)
Impressive! Isn't it, but that's for amateurs. ( I was one too, once upon a time!)
Moving forward, let me show you a screen shot of my very first basic app, Glatt Mart's Weekly sale app.
This app works as follows:
Grocery Items for Sale:
Meat Items for Sale:
Produce Items for Sale
Sushi Items for Sale
Takeout Items for Sale
As you can see,There are different sections of items for sale every week, customers can see the items they like, and then tap of the item of their choice ( say groceries: glatt mart beef franks for instance , as in first screen shot)
and... as you can see, It will display the price of that item, along with name and quantity , with options to follow on facebook/twitter or even visit the website to shop online through iPhone.
Customers can even rate the apps which is then stored in our database, so we can figure out which item's are most rated and put them on sale every week,to increase our sales.
Not only that, we can even figure out the time period of the sale by clicking on the icon at the top of the menu display :
Thus, making it a valuable resource for the shops who enhance weekly sales online or through iPhone's.
I shall add more features to this app eventually. for now I have kept it simple for demo purposes, I shall even introduce my more technical and highly detailed apps in the future and explain the basic code, including the patterns of usability and Accessibility analysis, and how to go about it in a simple and well defined way, to have a flawless product, which will look complex, but will be easy to program once you get the hang of it.
If you like my blog, subscribe to it, and I shall keep you posted on my new upcoming blogs which will deal with design patterns and structures that will impress the customers and add more educational value to the content at hand!
Au Revoir mes Amis ,
until next time ...
Love and Respect(Technical of course),
Vishwan Aranha!
