aspiring apple developer -- help!
Hi listers, I am doing my Undergrad in Computer science. I have been using VO on the mac since 2 years and VO on the iOS since 1 Year. I wish to develop apps for the iOS. I would like your suggestions on a few questions regarding app development. 1. where do I start? I visited the iOS dev center and found a huge volume of resources. many books, and videos. but I am not sure about where to start and how to proceed with learning the required platforms for development. 2. is the entire development process accessible? what concerns me related to accessibility is the UI design for the application and the mapping of the functions to various interactive elements on screen.(interface builder) From a video I saw, I understood that one will have to drag various elements to a particular area and map each element to a controller function. is my perception wrong? of it is not, is there a workaround for this particular phase of development that makes this process accessible with VO? 3. How do I test? I learned that xCode provides a facility to test apps by running them on an emulator and provides various statistics about resource usage. is this accessible with VO? 4. when do I become a member of a developer program? I wanted your say about the appropriate time to become a member of the apple developer program. Is it better if I pay for It now or go ahead with it after I am familiar with developing for the iOS platform. I apologize if this mail was too long and I thank you for reading through the entire mail :) Any answers will be of great help. Thank you.

Re: aspiring apple developer -- help!
hi. the best will be to start using the dummies books, and this is not meant in any sarcastic manner. The reason might be that the books if there are any have not checked might explain in depth to you why you are doing as you are. also a little know how about C will not hurt you the smallest. :) i wish you good luck. best Sandi On 11/6/11, Venkatesh Potluri venky...@gmail.com wrote: Hi listers, I am doing my Undergrad in Computer science.

RE: aspiring apple developer -- help!
Hi, From what I've read, and understand, people build their UIs all through code, they don't use any sort of interface builder, since that's not accessible at this current time. I'm also learning to develop for iOS as well. Also, the iOS simulator isn't' currently accessible, so people just put the compiled apps straight on the phone. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of sandi sørensen Sent: Sunday, November 06, 2011 6:17 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: aspiring apple developer -- help! hi. the best will be to start using the dummies books, and this is not meant in any sarcastic manner.

Re: aspiring apple developer -- help!
Hi Guys. My sighted husband is also thinking about learning to be a developer of iPhone and/or iPad devices. He does not have a Mac. I can't let him use mine because I need mine all the time for my business. He went to iTunes U and downloaded one of the lessons to his iPhone. The professor on there said that he would need a Mac in order to send in his final program (I think I have this straight.) If blind folks can put their program onto the iPhone because the Mac versions are not accessible, how can he do this directly on the iPhone and send in his program for them to evaluate it? I hope this question makes sense.

RE: aspiring apple developer -- help!
Unfortunately, the only way to develop for iOS is using Xcode, on the mac. You can't develop straight from the phone, as far as I'm aware. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Eugenia Firth Sent: Sunday, November 06, 2011 6:34 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: aspiring apple developer -- help!
