Please do not post the same thing multiple times. The board software automatically flags certain posts as needing moderator attention. This happens the most often for new users. I'm pretty sure this is made clear at the time you attempt to post. Posting the same thing over and over again just makes that many more posts the moderators have to weed through later. This makes us sad. Don't make us sad. If your post/thread doesn't appear, just wait a while. Don't post it again. If it hasn't shown up by the next day, then you can try again. I normally go through posts in the mornings, and try to check a few times throughout the day, but I'm not here 24/7. There will typically be a significant delay before posts are approved. Just be patient.

in iPhone SDK Development
hello all.

i am working alongside a company in Manchester, England and we have decided to write an application for the iphone, and have a lot of time to do so.

The application is very simple. The fist screen will have lots of different things to choose one of these options, you go to another screen. the next screen will have three options. two of which lead to another page with text and one option which leads to a video to be streamed.

i need all the help i can get to this and i have no experience in programming whatsoever.

Please tell me where i can learn to use the SDK, how to do programming and everything i need to know to achieve the application that i have descirbed above.

Thank you very much

RJ

    You're going to have a hell of a time if you have no experience in programmign whatsoever.
    I'd say choose a language to begin with.
    Then purchase some books on that language and maybe a book on iPhone programming iteself.

    you need a solid foundation in object oriented programming. you should probably get a book on C programming before jumping headfirst into iPhone development.

    Lucky, you don't have any experience and you got paid to develop on the iPhone OS platform?

    Writing code is not only about writing instructions to a machine / computer, but also about writing something that could be read, understood, and maintained by others. That'

    thanks for your replies.

    the thing is, its only a very simple application.
    first screen is a menu
    choose an option and go to another menu with three options, all which lead to a streamed video.

    do you think this will be hard to make?
    what language will i need to learn?
    and is there any information on the apple website with help on how to get started, how to use the language and the software etc.
    i just need as much advice as possible to get started

    thanks

    I think macaholic has put it perfectly, there is a lot to learn so dedicate a while to reading some books (firstly about general programming) and then try and make some simple applications first.
    Once you understand what you are doing and how you are going to do it reading through sample code will become useful. Sample code will often show you the most efficient way to achieve things.

    thankyou again for your replies everyone, youve been so much help. i really thought i wouldnt be taken seriously because of my lack of knowledge of programming.

    the reason i am starting this venture is because i have an economics background and i've taken a year out of education to learn something new and i have come accross this opportunity and i am very keen with computers so this is perfect. so in other words i have a year to learn how to do this.

    is it possible to get books on
    "1. Learn a Programming Language Preferably C
    2. Learn OOP concept (Object Oriented Programming Concepts)
    3. Learn Objective C
    4. Understand XCode"

    maybe books available on the internet?

    also is Xcode a programming language or software used for programming? and are these the correct steps to do it in?
    how long for a beginner should it take to learn the first 4 steps mentioned do you think?
    and information about how to stream videos on this application and make menus etc will be learnt through doing those eight steps?

    thank you again guys, all your help is much appreciated
