An Enterprise Architect's Guide to iPhone Programming
Last year with a bit of spare time on my hands I decided to lend my hand to iPhone programming, the start was slow, incredibly slow with weeks at a time lost in frustration. Months later however, many months I produced my first iPhone App. Over the following 6 months the money helped hire a programmer and I was back to thinking up new ideas and selling them. Today just under 18 months later we have had two number 1 selling apps, one in iPhone and one in iPad. I'm an enterprise architect, let me talk you through the ups and downs and how an you can apply your enterprise experience and programming skills to Apple's seemingly endless range of cool gadgets. Your experience will give you the edge over all the VB-style point and click "programmers".
