This topic interests me. What does it take to write
applications for the iphone and ipad? I don't have either one
now, but it would be fun to get an ipad someday and be able to
play with the GPS, camera and sound. I am sure there are apps
out there that nobody has thought of yet or are so specialized
that they won't get done unless I do them.
When I began learning the Apple II in 1979, I started
learning assembly language for the 6502. I did the same thing
when I moved to P.C's and wrote my own screen reader for dos. I
figured I'd rather go through the pain and expense of buying an
assembler and learn something than go through the expense of
buying a sealed box, so to speak and wishing I could tweak
things.
So, if I ever get an ipad, I want to eventually be able
to write programs for that.
What I am most familiar with right now is gcc. C builds
character but mine isn't yet built.
