Step by Step process to become an iPhone developer
Not only iPhone website development is very much in demand, companies out there are increasingly favoring to outsource iPhone application development to gain the cost advantage. So, once you become a good iPhone developer, you can look forward to a steady load of work. Here is a step by step guide for you to become an iPhone application developer:
Step 1. You need to buy a system with intel-based process that runs the Leopard version of MacOSX.
Step 2. You must download the Software Development Kit (SDK), from Apple's developer site. It is available online, free of cost for any kind of iPhone development. Thus, you will gain access to every single feature for ideal iPhone development environment, including Xcode, performance analysers, full documentation reference library, iPhone simulator to facilitate testing and not to mention, the interface builders.
Step 3. Something you cannot skip ' learning the fundamental programming language for iPhone development, that is, Objective C. You can begin with Dummies series or free tutorials online. You would also need to learn Cocoa and OpenGL.
Step 4. When you are through with step 3, write something. You do not need to feel the master of Objective C - just get your basics right and write.
Step 5. When you feel you are at good grips with iPhone development and already have some iPhone application up your sleeve, register yourself with Apple's iPhone developer program. It's a pre-requisite if you want to release your rendering at any point of time.
Step 6. iPhone application development is any day a lot of work until your application is actually ready for launch. However, when you are confident that it can be submitted, your next step would be to zip it up and upload it with Apple with a description, icons (small and large) and some screenshots. Within a week of submission, you may expect to receive an approval or rejection from Apple. Do not be disheartened in case of rejection. You can always fix up the bug and resubmit.
