The Crappy Times

Before 2008 After 2008

Before 2008, mobile dev stuttered…

… and continued to stutter. The mobile bloom never really happened because…

Devices were weak!Limited storageimages + source.

because of fragmentation and …

Dev times took ages

Distribution and visibility were bad. There was no app store or marketplace.

The Good Times

...we continued to have similar issues until...TADAA!

The iPhone opened a world of possibilities. Google, Nokia and others soon followed.

Devs could concentrate on doing what they do…

… and apple did the rest and believe it or not…

People became millionaires with ‘farting’ apps

What You Learn

A ton of stuff! (just kidding)

Objective C and …

A very simple class#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@interface DhallPuri : NSObject{ BOOL hasChilli; BOOL hasCurry; int chillLevel;}

-(void) setChilliLevel: (int) chilliLevel;-(void) setHasCurry: (BOOL) hasCur;-(void) setHasChilli: (BOOL) hasChil;

@end

A very simple class#import "DhallPuri.h"

@implementation DhallPuri{ }

-(void) setChilliLevel: (int) chiLevel{ chillLevel = chiLevel;}

-(void) setHasCurry: (BOOL) hasCur{ hasCurry = hasCur;}

-(void) setHasChilli: (BOOL) hasChil{ hasChilli = hasChil;}

@end

A very simple class

DhallPuri *d = [[DhallPuri alloc] init];

[d setChilliLevel:10];

[d setHasCurry:YES];

[d setHasChilli:YES];

…the tools used (instruments, XCode, interface builder)…

The deployment process…
