After waiting a long time to download (about 24 hours after it was released, the servers were hammered) I got my copy of the iPhone SDK.

Not knowing much about programming, I am eager to learn. Using the iPhone Dev Center and various website, I am teaching myself Objective C, Cocoa etc and I am hoping to make some simple apps for the iPhone in my spare time.

To start off, you’ll need Xcode to run the SDK, which can be found on the install disk for Leopard or Tiger.

Now, time for some screen shots!

First, when you open Xcode and choose ‘New Project’, you can choose a template for your project you want to make:

Cocoa Touch Application: This is used for a basic template for making simple applications. Best used for making your first.

Cocoa Touch List: This is also a basic template which you can create an application in a table view. This can be used by more advanced users.

Cocoa Touch Toolbar: This template provides a simple iPhone application with a toolbar. Also, recommended for more advanced users.

After loading up the project, you will be shown the project window which will be used to create the apps:

That’s pretty much where the magic happens.

You are also given the option to use your iPhone when you connect it, as a ‘device for development’.

Lastly and more importantly, you get to use an iPhone simulator which resembles the iPhone in every way. Here you can test your apps very well:

I’ve got a lot to learn, but, I am looking forward to playing with iPhone apps and hoping to contribute apps myself.

Expect a more advance and in-depth review in the future once I have learned more, unless I get bored of it and give up…
