Tutorials to learn game development for iPhone

Hello
What is the best way for a c# web developer to learn game programming for the iPhone, iPad, etc?

Apple has several examples of basic OGL ES on the iPhone Developer page be sure to look at those. Also note that if you choose OGL ES as your basic program in Xcode it will create a basic program with all the of the framebuffer housekeeping pre-wired for you so you don't have to slog through that.
Other good sources are the keepers of OGL ES themselves Khronos: http://www.khronos.org/opengles/
Also worth checking out is the maker/licensers of the graphics Apple actually uses in the phone PowerVR MBX: http://www.imgtec.com/PowerVR/insider/powervr-sdk.asp
Good luck,

Downside of developing for iphone with AIR?

I've developed a few games with flash and have wanted to try my hand at some mobile apps. Most of my games are point and clicks and since I already know AS3, AIR seems to be a pretty good option.
I've asked about Android- which I plan on targeting first- and it appears a major downside is that many AIR apps woud require additional software on older phones and that the required software is a bit of a space hog.
What are the downsides for developing for iphone? Does IOS require special software to play AIR apps? Do they run particularly slowly on the iphone?

Whether Flash would be the best tool might depend a lot on whether you know Flash, what kind of game you're doing, and whether all of the features you need to do can be done. For example, if having Game Center and iAds is vital, then you wouldn't want to use Flash for the time being.
Flash based apps on iOS do include the AIR runtime engine, but it isn't an external engine that gets installed once into the system, each app would have a copy of the engine. That's good, in that you don't have to worry whether someone installing a later app might cause your app to stop working. It does mean that each app is a few megabytes bigger download than the Android equivalent.
On Android, the when a user downloads an AIR based app for the first time, they automatically get given the AIR runtime too. After that, any AIR apps that use the runtime that is already on the device only has to download the app itself, unless the app requires a later version of AIR, in which case the user is prompted to download the later version of AIR. It's not too painful a process.
People have requested that the AIR runtime be part of the APK, and I think that will be done one day, but not in the near future.

Learning forms development for E-Business Suite

Hi,
I'm interested in learning forms development for Oracle E-Business Suite (specifically forms 10 as that is what I have installed on my vision instance). Other than the EBS developers guide, can anyone point me in the direction of some learning resources (books, online content etc) that I can learn forms from scratch? Specifically for E-Business Suite though as I'm aware that EBS forms development is significantly different than just standard Oracle forms.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Just giving this a quick bump up as I'm still looking for information if anyone can help!?

If you use the same apple ID on both devices you can download the game for free to your iPad from the App Store.

OSX Lion is real Slow, was it developed for iPhone apps vs iMac

I'm concerned that the new OSX Lion is developed for the new market of iphones and Apps not the graphics power of a desktop.
All the graphics and tools have slowed down terribly. Even the windows move as you would want for your iphone but not for your computer.
This is terrible. Are there any preferences in OSX lion given to the user to remove some of these terrible programming mistakes.
I have a 3.06 GHZ intel Core 2 Duo
8GB MEmeory
ATI Radeon HD 4850
Mac OS XLion 10.7.2

OS X Lion is developed for Mac's, iOS is developed for iDevices. Although I agree Lion is more iOS like than any other previous version of OS X. What "terrible programming mistakes" are you looking to remove?

Newbie for development for iphone

Hi there, I wan to start to develop apps for iphone..after few round of research, I know I need basically 2 items to staff: A Mac machine and iphone SDK.
The question is which mac should i get of which more suitable for development?
1) Mini Mac
2) Macbook
3) IMac
Im thinking of Mini Mac, as it is cost effective but Im not sure if it is good enough for development. Any expert advise pls? Appreciate your help.
Note that Im new and never use an Mac before.

Go for the cheapest (Mac Mini) as it will be good enough for your needs.
If development goes well and you sell a few apps or love developing soooo much, you could always buy another machine in the future.
PS It would be a good idea to have an iPhone too - most of your testing can be done in simulator but not all.

Web development for iPhone

I'm looking to develop a web site for use by the iPhone. Is there a best practice around development? Should I be detecting and redirecting to a dedicated location (http://iphone.name.com), or detecting and using an iPhone friendly CSS file?

Apple offers extensive documentation and guidance for application and web development for the iPhone, and an iPhone software development kit will be available early next year.
You can register at no charge to be an 'entry level' developer and gain access to the iPhone Development Center by going to this page. The iPhone Reference Library, Tech Talk Videos and sample code projects are all available once you have logged in using your Apple ID.

[Game development] iphone game development

Hi All,
I am newbie to iphone game development. I am looking for third party game engines like Allegro.
Please suggest me best open source game engine for iphone game development.
Thanks,
Ganesh Pisal

Hi There
You can only use the iPhone Development kit from Apple to develop iPhone Games as far as I am aware, the Allegro game programming library for C/C++ is used for programming on operating systems. The iPhone is based on Objective-C which I believe is fairly different from C and C++.
Hope this helps

How can I play app games for iPhone and iPad on my iMac

Is it possible to play app-games made for iPhone and iPad on my iMac

The iPhone and iPad run iOS and the Mac runs OS X.
Apps written for iOS will not run on Mac.
Only if the developer has written a version for OS X will it run on the Mac and you would have to buy and install that version of the Mac.

MonoTouch vs Objective-C for iPhone/iPod/iPad development [closed]

For someone with .Net experience and wanting to develop for iPhone/iPod/iPad, is it worth learning Objective-C? Is MonoTouch a good alternative? What are some of the trade-offs when using MonoTouch vs coding in Objective-C?

Most of the information you've suggested there would be found in the source repository.
The only thing you really need is the purpose section, which says what the class is there for.
Would it be tedious to look in repository every time you want to know the other information? I'd say no. How often do you care who the original author was? Or when the file was first created? Plugins (such as Ankh SVN for Visual Studio) often allow you to right
click within your current file and view the repoistory log for the file, so it's not that much of a hassle to actually see this information.
Additionally, if you store the version history in a comment, this comment needs to be maintained. So over time there's a chance it could be lying to you. The source code repository automatically keeps this historical data, so doesn't need that maintenance,
and will be accurate.

In addition to exploring the iPhone Dev Center, get +Beginning iPhone Development: Exploring the iPhone SDK+ by Mark and LaMarche. I spent several months trying to learn the SDK from the online docs and the sample code. Then I got Hillegass, which is one of the best ways to learn Cocoa, but didn't cover the iPhone. Some of the really important controls and controller structures were still a dark mystery. Then Mark and LaMarche came out last November and I couldn't help thinking, "If I had only had this to start with! Just get it. By the time you get to Chapter 9, I expect to see you answering a good number of the questions in this forum.
