DMS Help: Regression – Tour of a Mac

It just occurred to me that I have spent the last year posting all sorts of articles and tutorials on how to use all this high-level software and I have never once posted anything on how to use a Mac. I know, I know. Macs are simple. Easier than PC’s in this author’s opinion. Still, … Continue reading “DMS Help: Regression – Tour of a Mac”

It just occurred to me that I have spent the last year posting all sorts of articles and tutorials on how to use all this high-level software and I have never once posted anything on how to use a Mac.

I know, I know. Macs are simple. Easier than PC’s in this author’s opinion.

Still, folks come into the DMS all the time and say things like, “I’ve never used a mac before.” Well, for all you first-time Mac users, this one’s for you.

Here’s a video tutorial on the basics of Mac-dom. It’s quick and simple and will tell you all you need to know about how to function on a Mac.

Interactive Media: iPhone Development – Updates

Since my last post on this topic a few things have changed. Some good, some not so much… Let’s get the bad news out of the way first. The new iOS SDK is no longer free. That’s right, XCode 4 now costs $5.00 on the AppStore. Oh, and it only runs on Snow Leopard. There … Continue reading “Interactive Media: iPhone Development – Updates”

Since my last post on this topic a few things have changed. Some good, some not so much…

Let’s get the bad news out of the way first.
The new iOS SDK is no longer free. That’s right, XCode 4 now costs $5.00 on the AppStore. Oh, and it only runs on Snow Leopard. There seem to be a few places where you can get older versions of XCode for free, but Apple seems to be sweeping this into a corner. Oh well. I will say though that the new XCode is worth the five bucks. It has a lot of new features that make development much easier. So if you have Snow Leopard you should certainly drop the dough and get XCode 4.
On the upside we have two bits of very good news.
The first is that Apple is really pushing resources for folks to develop Apps for iOS. One example of this is that they have compiled a whole page of iTunes U and podcast resources for development, marketing and business management. There’s some really good stuff here including full courses for iOS development from Stanford and UCDavis. It’s worth your time.
And finally, this Fall Apple will be releasing iOS5. Check out this video on the new features to be introduced.

Interactive Media: iPhone App Development, Step 2

Ok, so now you’re an Apple Developer and you’ve got the SDK installed. Great. At least it was until you opened one of the applications in the SDK and realized you had no idea what to do next. Here’s what you can do next: learn how to use the iOS SDK to make iPhone apps. … Continue reading “Interactive Media: iPhone App Development, Step 2”

Ok, so now you’re an Apple Developer and you’ve got the SDK installed. Great.

At least it was until you opened one of the applications in the SDK and realized you had no idea what to do next.
Here’s what you can do next: learn how to use the iOS SDK to make iPhone apps.
It’s true that it’s a complex process, but there are some truly excellent resources out there for you.
The best place to start is Lynda.com. Don’t forget that if you’re an American university student you’ll need to log into Lynda via the Technology link on the portal. What you want to look for is “iPhone SDK Essential Training” by Simon Allardice. He begins with a bit of history and explains the development of the iPhone OS. He then segways into some simple tutorials in Objective-C, the programming language used to create iPhone apps, and finally shows users how to create a number of useful interfaces which can be applied to a wide variety of app ideas. Really excellent.
Once you have a basic grasp of the tools and concepts used to create iPhone apps, it’s time to go to Stanford. Yes, Stanford. For the past few years they have been running an iPhone development course in their school of engineering and it’s available FREE on the iTunes U site. Here is the latest version of the course from the Winter of 2010. Clicking on the link with open iTunes.
This is another college course on iPhone development from UC Davis. It’s a bit different from Stanford’s, but still very easy to follow and understand.
Additionally, there are a TON of resources on Apple’s developer site and one I recommend highly is the Primer on Objective-C. It’s a text document, but well worth reading.
Once you’ve got the basics down it’s time to move on. If you’ve never programmed before it might be worth your time to check out Step 2.5. If you find you’re comfortable with Objective-C, move on to Step 3.
