Right time for registering as iOS Developer

Hi all
I have recently decided to learn about iOS programming, and got them all prepared.
1. I got an Intel Based Mac running LION 10.7.3
2. I have downloaded the latest Xcode (4.3)
3. I have got a couple of books on Objective C programming and iPhone Open Application development, and reading them up.
4, I have been reading online documents and watching video tutorials.
I have worked a few years as a VB programmer about 10 years ago, then I have been doing other stuff, so my programming skill is rusty. However, when I read the books and tutorials on internet, I was able to understand and follow them reasonably OK.
Now my question is when would it be  the right time to register with Apple as an iOS Developer? Is it better to do it as soon as possible, or is it OK to do it later when I am ready to produce a few apps?
Would it better to stick to Apple's online documents and tutorials rather than bother buying the books from Amazon? Would buying books on these topics be waste as they get outdated fast, and tend to be quite expensive?
Thanks in advance.

Right time is as early in the process as possible. Doing so will allow you access to a far greater range of resources that are current.
Books on Obj-C.,..fine.
iOS books....outdated and crammed with beta code - don't waste your money, Stick with the resources you pay for with a dev account.

  • Is it the right time for me to get SAP SD Certification?

    Greetings everyone!!!
    For the past few days, I have been thinking alot about taking my career to a new step and get SAP SD certification.
    But before venturing further into it, let me briefly explain about my Background.
    I am a marketing Post Graduate and an MBA with an Experience of 10 months in the field of Sales and Business Development, in the Wellness Industry. (I have attached my curriculum vitae for you all to study and help me in selecting the right path)
    As of now, I think of two possible ways of going about the SAP Certification. (Since I have more or less decided to do it anyway)
    1. To get more experience in the domain and then get the certification
    2. To get the certification right away
    I should also declare this before hand that i have no hands on experience with any of the ERP software in practice today. But i do know little bit about Tally. And, if I have to get that before taking us SAP Certification, then that would mean searching for a new job and working in the new job for some time to get to know the basics.
    Also, after visiting the SAP Academy in my city, they offered me two options -
    a) ILT (Instructor Led Training)
    b) E Learning
    I wanted to know if there will be a vast difference between the learning outcome from these two, and which one should i prefer joining. Its just that, If i go for the ILT, I will have to quit my job, where as on the other hand, I can pursue the course without leaving the job, but within 200 Hrs of Campus E Learning.
    Also, considering my background, is Sales and Distribution the correct module for me or should i consider doing any other course.
    Apart from all the above, is there ANYTHING ELSE i am missing?
    Kindly show me the light.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Vedansh

    Hi Vwdansh,
    generally SD modules are taken by MBA or related professionals because of having a domain knowledge in Sales and Distribution area, so your choice is good, however there are some more functional module exits in SAP which can be taken as an career option like CRM etc, for details about the major SAP functional module you can search on Google on in SCN.
    When it comes to taking a training , you can opt for weekends classes as it is a suitable option for a working proffessional, the concern is that while having a online training , you may face some problem in which online suggestion will not provide you any fruitful meanings as your learnings, so a classroom training should be prefferable.
    As you have working experiences so i will suggest you to take training from any authorised training center, ask the councellor that you wants weekends classes so that your present work will not get interrupted.
    Finally, SD module is a right choice for you but once you should search some more major module that may suits you, because in SD there are so many people already working, but its not the case with CRM.
    If you have any further query, please revert.

  • Looking for someone with ios developer account who can compile and test my app on ios 8

    Hi,
    my ios developer account expired.
    Before I renew it i want to be sure that my app will still run on ios 8
    It's a flex app , downloadable  on google code : Source Checkout - helpdiabetes-air - HelpDiabetes written for Adobe AIR - Google Project Hosting
    So i'm looking for some one with flash builder installed, with the latest flex sdk (4.13) , an ios developer account and a device with ios 8, who wants to build and install the app for me.
    See if it runs.
    thanks,
    Johan

    I have to say this is the hardest thing to diagnose that I have come up against over the past 10 years! Completely out of ideas.
    If this was just the Intuos3 with the mouse on my G5 then I would just say it is a bad mouse switch, but when a different mouse on two different tablets (Intuos 2 and Intuos3) are both exhibiting the same behavior on two different computers (a G4 Laptop and a G5 Tower) - then something is wrong.
    The only other thing I have done to both computers recently is I installed Adobe CS3. Have any of you that have responded also installed CS3?
    This is not a Wacom Driver issue, because if you plug in a tablet without the Wacom Driver installed, the mouse should still work like a standard mouse and I am having trouble even then. Even during a restart of the computer as soon as the Wacom tablet blue light comes on - even before the desktop appears, if I hold down the mouse button the tablet will irratically flicker between blue (receiving power from USB) to green (mouse button engaged)? (Again it does not do this with the Pen - it always works fine - just any Wacom mouse).
    If it were a USB power issue the tablet light would go off and on, but it doesn't - one of the LEDs is always lit. If it were a tablet grid issue, the Pen would also display the same symptoms - it doesn't. It acts like the mouse does not have enough "consistent power" output to keep the grid engaged when activated which would be easily explained by a bad mouse switch or for sure if the mouse had a bad battery, but I don't think the mouse has a battery does it? And none of this explains why I am getting this on two tablets with two mice (unless the mouse actually does have a battery and both are bad)?
    Anyway I am 95% sure this is a communication problem between the mouse and the tablet - not the tablet and the computer and Driver is not in the equation.
    Really stumped.

  • Is now the right time for me to buy?

    i've been using windows since 1995... however, i have had some brief encounters with apple desktops.
    so, within about a month, i'll be needing a laptop. and, i figured, why not the cool macbook? but, since i started reading these columns daily, horror stories more like it, sould i rethink my new upcoming purchase?
    i was going to opt for the 1.83ghz, 1gig memory, 100gig hard drive, and the apple care protection plan.
    but, being totaly new to apple computer, and reading about the problems, i need help.
    thanks

    Sorry to say, but I completely disagree on the upgrade issue. These macbooks are not too snappy without atleast a gig of RAM. I ordered 2 gigs form this site http://eshop.macsales.com/MyOWC/Upgrades.cfm?model=248&type=Memory&TI=%23TimeFor mat%28Now%28%29%2C&shoupgrds=ShowUpgrades
    And before i installed it i downloaded istat pro and it said that there was NEVER any free ram...NEVER. So the programs were not as quick as i would have expected for a 1,300 computer. I then put the 2gigs in and did some more testing. I found that the processor reached deep into the 2 gigs just running iTunes, Firefox, and garageband. So the 1gb is absolutely without a doubt a must, and if your willing to shell out the extra hundred, the 2 gigs. It surprised me a whole lot when the processor took advantage of the 2gbs. Most windows machines never go use 2 gbs. It was a pleasent surprise to see that my investment paid-off.
    I say go for the 2 gigs of RAM

  • What Tech Specs are needed for iOS developement and other game developement?

    I am looking to buy a new macbook pro most likely the retina because it has a much higher resolution and flash storage which will make it much faster than a regular macbook pro. I am going to use this computer for programming including iOS developement and web design. I will also be using higher end applications like cinema 4d, unity 3d, and the adobe products.
    I am in school so i will also be using this for simple school functions.
    I was wondering should i get the 16gb model or is 8 enough?
    And should i get more internal storage than 256 gb and just use the Apple Time Capsule for a wireless external hard drive or get more storage on the macbook?

    Since the RAM on the Retina model can't be upgraded by the user, I would go with the full 16GB.
    I would also look at the 512GB flash storage option - you don't want to lug around an external drive.
    Just my 2¢...

  • What email to use for iOS developer program for company

    Hi, I'm planning to register to iOS developer program as a company. My question is, should I use my company email to create the Apple ID? If sometime in the future I leave the company, can the Apple ID email be changed ?

    I would recommend you to use Blowfish, but if you think you dont need a very strong algorithm and prefer to focus on performance(speed),then a 56-bit DES would be adequate.
    You need the javax.crypto.* and javax.crypto.spec.* packages.
    If you will store the information in a file, after you encrypt the data, base64 encode it.
    (there are base64 encode/decode classes in sun.misc package)
    I show u a method implementing that:
    public String encryptTxt(String txt,String key){
       try{
          SecretKeySpec specKey=new SecretKeySpec(key, "Blowfish");
          Cipher cipher=Cipher.getInstance("Blowfish"););
          cipher.init( Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, specKey);
          return new String(  new BASE64Encoder().encodeBuffer( cipher.doFinal(txt.getBytes())) );
       }catch(Exception e){return txt;}
      }HTH

  • Wrong phone number in Enrollment of iOS Developer Enterprise Program

    I has applied for membership in "iOS Developer Enterprise Program". However, a phone number of legal contact was a mistake. How Can I fix?

    Sounds like you're doing everything right here .. although I'm not sure what you mean by "upload my DPS app to it"
    Enterprise signed – You can create iPad apps for internal distribution only. An enterprise signed app (also called an in-house app or an ad hoc app) is distributed within the company rather than downloaded from the Apple Store.
    Enterprise signed viewer apps are available only to DPS Enterprise subscribers.
    You'll find some details about Entreprise signed viewers in the iPad Publishing Companion Guide .. which you'll find in the DPS dashboard.

  • IOS developer program gives "An unknown error occurred. Please try again." on registration.

    Hi,
    I am trying to register in iOS developer program but it gives "An unknown error occurred. Please try again.".
    I tried different browsers (Google Crome, firefox, IE, safari), I also tried registering from iPad but the same error occured, I am trying this from 1st April, but it still not resolved.
    Also the country is showing blank, hence I am not able to select the state. (I am from India).
    Please help, thanks in advance.

    I had the same issue (from United Kingdom), fixed this by inspecting the page and changing the country input type from 'hidden' to 'text' and manually entering 'United Kingdom' in the text field.
    Country still displays as blank on the next page, but I'm able to proceed past that without the error.

    But I didn't receive it yet, and my iOS program is not active in the member center.

         For a total of*********$                  99.00
    Please, tell me what I need to do for receiving my iOS developer program membership?
    Maybe, there is some contact person or support, who can help me with this issue?
    Thank you in advance.

    One of my favorite things about developing for iOS using Xcode is the Simulator. It runs any of the iOS devices simulated right on your Mac. If you don't have a hardware device to test your application on, the Xcode simulator will surely be your best friend.
    So to answer your question less vaguely, yes. You can own the iPhone 5s and develop for the 6. There is no real release information of the iPhone 6 at the time anyways, so I would not let it play too large of a factor in your decision.

  • AIR right solution for us? (multiple Plattform, iOS, Android, Win 8, Win RT, Windows Phone 8

    We have to implement a APP for this plattforms.
    Windows 8
    Windows 8 RT
    Windows Phone,
    Android
    iOS.
    First it seems that PhoneGap could the right  framework for us. But PhoneGap has a limitation about the size of the local database, 5 MB, (if i unserstand right).
    But our database can be more than 10 mb.
    Required basic features are?
    Sync data with an online database.
    Create photos with camera and upload (is camera available on an Windows 8 Netbook in AIR?)
    Potential speech recognition, this means the APP displays an textarea and user can create some text in it with speech recognition (possible with native device features?).
    I know this are many questions.
    I hope somebody is reading this thread.
    I'm reading the roadmap of adobe AIR, but there are no comments about the new Windows 8 Phone.
    I am looking forward for answers.
    Kind Regards

    If adobe starts with Air i was an big fan of it, because since AS3 the language is very powerfull. We implement a lot of Business-Applications for the flashplayer with flashbuilder (aka. Flex).  On browsers we have sometimes discussions about the flash player,  especially since Apple vs. Adobe.
    But i thought at this time,  air is the "killer environment" for mobile apps. Until now i have only create some apps for android with air and windows desktop, so i have no experience with ios and air. But if i unserstand right, the compiler creates native ios code (what a great feature!). Fast  and i don't need any Xcode steps  (like in Phonegap), yes i know the phonegap-build-service.
    So i will be happy, if someone can help me with my decision with two options.
    don't use air ,  and only phonegap, mosync or some other platforms like this are the future for cross-plattform development for mobile apps.
    We  have a lot of experience in HTML and Javascript development in our company too, so the reason why we are interested on Adobe Air is not "missing knowledge" in web technology, but the HTML, Javascript implementations are slower, hard for debugging,  JS is not typed etc...(this list is subjective).
    Air has an future (not only for games, videos and sound)
    Pherhaps if anyone from Adobe reads this thread,  a hint   will be welcome.
    Kind Regards
