Iphone Development Study Note 1

Not long ago, we completed the development of map development kits on the Java ME, BlackBerry, Android, Java SE,. Net CE, And. Net Desktop platforms. Finally, we have time to start learning about Mac OS and iPhone development. The ultimate goal is to port the map development kit to Mac OS and iPhone platforms.
I have never been in touch with Mac OS for many years in software development. The vague impression is that Apple Computers are mainly used for graphic development and design :-). Recently I started to use iMac. Although I was not used to it, I still fully felt the beauty of the Apple computer interface.
Let's start with some preparations for developing the iphone application.
One iMac, I use a 24 inch All-in-One at $1600-$2000
An iPhone at $600-$800
Download and install XCode, Interface builder https://developer.apple.com/devcenter/ios/index.action needs to register an account, can download on the Apple site
Download the Get Start Video tutorial for over 20 hours. It is very useful for getting started. You can watch three sets every night for one week.
Several personal books.
In addition, if you plan to release applications on the Apple Store, you need to pay an annual registration fee of $100 to Apple.
From the perspective of transplantation, MonoTouch provides for iphone. NET development environment, software license $399. after preliminary research, MonoTouch is a good choice, and it also provides a tool to produce Object C from C # (not yet studied :-). If you only run on the simulator, you can use it for free. To release software, $399 is still required.
The initial investment in iphone development is about $3000.
Whether or not MonoTouch is used, it is necessary to be familiar with Mac OS and Objective C.
