Ready to develop for the iPad? You’re going to need some resources. First of all, start with everything you already learned about developing for the iPhone. Next, take it up a notch with these new resources from the Apple Developer Center:
There is an extensive library of videos available from Apple. Anyone can see the preview videos, but to see the full versions in iTunes, you need to be a registered Apple developer for the basic videos and a registered Apple iPhone developer for the advanced videos.
Application to the iPhone Developer Program is $99 USD for the standard membership and $299 USD for the enterprise version, per year. If you are already a member of the iPhone Developer program, you do not need to reapply.
If you plan to submit an iPad app to the iTunes store, give yourself plenty of time for the Apple developer approval process. We’ve heard from people who’ve waited longer than six weeks for approval, or who have applied a second time when they didn’t hear back from the program.
From LinkedIn (computer link):
“Anyone know a good, reliable iPhone-iPodTouch developer I can hire? We’re a branding/marketing outfit that has an Apple AppStore product spec’d out, ready to go. The only missing member of our team is the developer! If you’re an Apple Developer with experience with the iPhone?iPod Touch SDK and have written/sold a product through the AppStore, we’d love to work with you. If you haven’t sold anything through the AppStore, this could be your first success. We want a programmer that’s efficient, reliable and creative. This is a project for hire, unless you’d like to participate in the revenue. That’s always an option. You can check us out at (computer only link) robfrankel.com, where fun is good, but making money is even better.”
Ok iPhone developers, here we go… the new SDK is now available at Apple Developer Connection” (computer link, not mobile) This is the 8th SDK released by Apple for the iPhone. To download it, you need to register at Apple (no charge). To use the SDK you’re going to need a mac with the latest version of OSX. Sorry PC and Mac Tiger users.
Let’s see what kind of brilliant iPhone apps you will make with your shiny new SDK.
