Recommended Reading for App Development in iOS 5

Good Afternoon...
I've recently installed XCode 4.3.2 on my MacBook Pro as I am interested in learning application development for the iPhone and iPad.
The extent of my programming experience is BASIC. I've browsed the on line tutorials and the books available at the local B&N. There is plenty to choose from but before I purchase anything, I thought I'd better ask.
Can anyone recommend reading? I'm guessing that BASIC programming experience translates into no experience where this is concerned. I'd also be interested in hearing about any training courses on the subject.
Thank you.

Are you currently in a valid paid Individual Developer Account...?

    What is the CIS number for app development?

    In order to get your App on the App Store you need a DUNS #.  In order to get a DUNS # you need to register and they ask for the CIS, which is a number that classifies your business.

  • Panels in CS5 for app development?

    Are there any panels in CS5 created for mobile devices/Android app development? What are the commonly used tools/panels for app development?

    Nope, there no other panels needed when developing for android, the only difference is when outputting the file, you should just keep an eye on the library regarding filesize, although it's not very important you never know.
    Many other things in regards to performance can be taken care of, but none of them are in a specific panel ( code, caching bitmaps, filter usage.... etc)

    Also Linux VMs (Cent OS 7, Ubuntu 04.15) using Vmware Player 7 run OK?

    You should really ask about running Windows 10 in VMWare player in the

  • Proper schooling for App Development?

    Hi, I am curious to know if there are schools that major in app development? Or at least proper training to become an iOS developer? Through proper schooling like Universities or community colleges? I am in Las Vegas, NV and was wondering if they offer it here.  Or is it just a computer science degree and then pick up the programming language of iOS developing? Thanks in advance!

    That is about as good as it gets.
    Don't be fooled by media headlines and stock market reports. Apple has zero respect in universities or enterprise. If you want to write software for Apple products, you generally have to learn it on your own. There are books, online resources such as the ones K T mentioned, and especially Apple's own WWDC, but mostly you have to learn it on your own. One of the best ways to do that is to do all of your computer science assignments on your Mac. Make sure to test them either Linux or Windows before submitting. Your task will be easier (thanks to clang) and more pleasant (thanks to Xcode and the Mac). Your final result will be more correct and robust because you have gotten it working on multiple platforms.

  • Language for app development?

    Hello. I am going to design an app for iOS/Android/Windows Phone. I will be the concept/UI designer and will team up with a developer at a later date.
    What language should this be developed in, and what is the best way to make it accessible to all of those platforms?

    iOS = Xcode/Objective-C
    Other platforms:  ?
    I should say that there is no optimal way of developing for different platforms using the same code base.
    You might find some third party tools to do it but please don't come here when said third party tools cause problems with an iOS app.

  • Recommended machine for application development

    Hi, I am new to the whole apple interface but I am looking into application development for the iphone or ipad? What is a recommended machine (macbook pro, mac mini, imac) would I need dual monitor, etc. in order to develop a moderate graphic application? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated? Thanks

    Any late model Mac with at least 4GB of RAM will work.
    I used a 2008 MacBook Air to develop a largish iPad app.
    But I also had a 24" display.  While not required, a large display makes things much easier.
    With that as a starting point, add as much RAM as you can afford.  That makes a huge difference when using Xcode/Instruments.

  • What MAC Is Needed For App Development

    I need to purchase a Mac to develop apps on for college.  What is the minimum I can purchase to build, test, and debug my apps before release.  Should I purchase a new computer or will a used one be good to start with.  This will be my first mac, so any assistance will be helpful.

    Hey TechArtist, like you i reccently invested in my first ever mac. I got the standard macbook pro retina 13' late 2013 model. I have to tell you its a beauty. It is very light, thin, fast and perfect for xcode and other IDE's(such as eclipse, android studio and dreamweaver etc.). The screen is so AMAZING and it makes the code look so neat and crisp. My friend has the 2012 13' macbook pro so i know which one i like the most. Compared to mine his is slower then the newer model, not that light and as seeing you are a college student you might would want something light and thin. But seeing as you would like a cd drive unless you wont be using it often you might want to go for the 2012 one. There is a noticable difference in speed but its not a big gap. It really does come down to personal preference to be honest. Just go to the apple store and use each macbook for around 10-20 mins and see which one you'd like. Also i would reccommend not to get the macbook air as its not that great for developing (friend also has a macbook air).

  • Do you offer a price reduction for app developement for Non profits.

    We are developing Apps for our church and were looking at the cost of developing and Apple app.  We are a small church so do you offer any type of discounts for non profit apps.

    You are not addressing Apple here, only other users like yourself. You will need to contact Apple directly with this question.

  • Best way to find a good app developer?

    Honestly, become an Apple Developer.
    http://developer.apple.com/
    They have forums where you can ask questions, like "I need an App developer...HELP." Someone will point you to someone. Or volunteer.
    Also, LinkedIn has an iPad/iPhone developer group. I belong to a medical apps subgroup, and I can tell you there's a lot of "advertising" of skills and such. Moreover, LinkedIn gives you the chance to do some background checking.
    With these two groups, you will get the best of the best. Don't google for one. You'll get junk surrounding the few diamonds.

  • Best practices for "designer - developer" interaction in Flex Mobile

    Hi,
    I'm starting development of a mobile software application and Flex Mobile is the platform I've chosen for that.
    What is the best practice / recommended workflow for designer-developer interaction? For example in web application the designer provides HTML/CSS templates to the developer which integrates them in the Web Application. What is the analogue in Flex Mobile? What should I request as input from the designer?
    I'll appreciate any hints, links, advises or previous experience on the topic.
    Thanks!
    Best Regards,
    Dinko

    If you're using Adaptive Web Design (CSS3 media queries), you can maintain one site with CSS Layouts optimized for different device widths.

    If you're actually running separate web sites for mobile and non-mobile devices, have a look at this recent discussion:

    IMO, there is nothing wrong with providing links for mobile and non-mobile users to choose which site they would prefer to use -- especially for tablets who may have an interest in both.

    The MBA is so small and thin many people can't help thinking it is like a Windows netbook - an underpowered toy. It isn't. There's nothing I do on my top end iMac that I can't - and don't - do on my MBA. Of course the iMac has a faster processor, bus speed, and a discrete video card so it is much faster than my MBA. Then again, my computers spend more time waiting for me to do something than I wait for them - and this includes using Photoshop and compiling code.
    If I were writing large programs - something like Word for example - I'd want a very fast processor to speed up the compile/debug/compile cycle. But for iOS development your codebase will be much smaller. Frankly I can't see that much difference between a 13" MBA and a 13" MBP for development purposes. Now a top of the line 15" MBP is a different matter with its much faster CPU and separate video card.

  • Can I use macbook air for ios app development?

    I would like to know if i can use macbook air for ios app development or macbook pro is only option?

    Just to reinforce what shldr2thewheel says - be very sure what size memory you want if you get a Macbook Air. There is *no* way to change after purchase. My advice is to go for the 4GB option - especially if you want to do app development.
    The internal storage (solid state drive) of the Air can be upgraded if required but it will probably be an expensive option. If you don't think the storage will be enough then maybe using a USB connected drive to hold non-essential files is an option.
    As to deciding between the Air and Pro you are basically making a decision between portability (Air) and expandability/bigger screens (Pro). What is more important to you?
