Developing Iphone App

In few years, it is the iPhone which is going to float in everyone’s palm, as are the other mobile phones now. iPhone was first introduced by Apple in Jan 2007. Developing applications for the iPhone is really a interesting job. This is done in Mac environment using the language Objective C. Apple provides various tools and technologies that make developing applications for iPhone simple.
The iPhone SDK is used for developing iPhone apps and this includes the IDE Xcode, iPhone simulator and a number of additional tools. There are various frameworks available which makes most of our tasks easier.
Objective C, the language used for iphone application development is an object oriented programming language and is a thin layer on top of C (a superset of C). Any C program can be compiled using an Objective C compiler and C code can be included in an Objective C class. In Objective C, every class has a separate interface file (with the extension .h) and implementation file (with the extension .m).Learning this language is easy since there are a lot of materials and books available online. A lot of reference material and sample code is available in the Apple developer site. Applications must follow the Apple standards and there are some procedures to be followed before the application can be made available in the App store. All these details are given in the Apple developer site. If Mac environment is available then why not give a shot developing your own iphone applications :). I hope you will surely find it interesting.
