1 day – 1 app

Building a ready-to-ship app in one day and being verbose about it.

After almost 11 hours

with one comment

After being completely stuck a few hours ago, I’m now well on my way to finish a WORKING app, thanks to @Alin’s suggestion to use PhoneGap.

PhoneGap is a breath of fresh air and brings proper JavaScript coding into iPhone dev. PhoneGap is 100% an iPhone app which runs a web browser inside it and you build inside that. It works flawlessly and it even integrates with all the phone’s features.

I’ve also discovered Dashcode, an IDE/editor for developing Mac widgets and iPhone-ready apps. It generates standard html, css, js + images which I can copy over in Xcode, inside the PhoneGap project, and bam, proper iPhone app!

So, basically, I’ve dropped Objective-C and never want to look at it again :) . And I’m still developing for the iPhone.
Yay I say!
