So I decided to start learning how to program iPhone applications and join in on the gold-rush. First off, I have to say that learning iPhone development in your spare time is quite challenging. I’m having a really hard time grasping the objective-c nomenclature, and since i’m not working with it for several hours a day, I forget the syntax and am disheartened when I pick it up again. For some reason, brackets and the ‘sending messages’ concept isn’t sinking in. Regardless, I decided to post some of the resources i’ve been tinkering with while learning.

- Appsamuck - a site that goes through 31 days of applications that feature different aspects of iPhone development

- O’reilly’s Iphone SDK Application Development – I’ve been using this more as my main resource, while doing the appsamuck stuff as ‘homework’.

- Developer.apple.com – duh. You definitely need this site.

- The objective c programming reference – (google objective c reference) – This has been a great help, especially for me, not knowing anything about obj-c. (Especially since i haven’t done c or c++ since college!)

- WordPress Iphone Application – a great way to just tinker with something that’s been already built and in use, especially if you’re looking for more of processing application than a game/visual app.

Well, that’s about all i’ve been doing for the last couple of days. Hopefully, when I have some more time in august, i’ll start really sitting down and figuring out this iPhone stuff!
