HOW TO GET STARTED WITH IPAD APP

DEVELOPMENT? - A BASIC GUIDE

If one ever came across the beauty of Apple iPad, chances are that

programmers must have thought about development of applications for

this super tablet. The creative landscape of the tab awaits you & I have

tried to sum up some of the basic requirements about the mission:- We

can compare the situation with a kitchen. Just like when we have to cut

the vegetables, we also need to be acquainted with the tools for the start

to set the stage. Here is the detailed process.

The primary thing is to be aware with Apple’s platform is its awesome

XCode.It is the umbrella of a number of tools which would be helpful as

you go ahead with the writing process. Even though you could not shift

your application from your local computer to the store if you do not have

the license of a developer, you can easily roam across the platform &

come to know about your customized milestones of making to the store.

Coming back to the baby-steps, a basic pre-requisite is to have

familiarity of C as this is the language XCode is comfortable with.

In case you have some problems in making things right with Objective –

C, there is an option in Corona, same in terms of BASIC coding. This

could be boon for starters. By the same token, it is worthwhile to note

that there would be not be too much of freedom as compared to X code,

but good thing which Corona possesses is that is the common

denominator between the operating systems of both Apple & Google. My

personal advice would be to check some primers on C-based language

like C++ or Java. There are a number of basic books which could be

pivotal in knowing the nuances of boosting right application development

methodology for iPad.

Time to Lay Ground for App

Now, it is the time to set everything right. It starts from what

you want to offer with your application. An important thing

here is to be original with the intention of the app; else no

one would pay heed to your efforts if the product is repetition

of previous peers.

An ideal homework might be this. Go to the store & download the major

apps which appeal your idea. Find some scope of betterment & maintain

a checklist. Another important thing is to use the limited space of mobile

display screen perfectly as the dimension would not give you the leeway

like PCs.

If you know what kind of enrichment you want to bestow to the App store,

the stage is all set to greet you. As far as my insight goes, one needs to

cough up $99 annually to join the developer’s program of Apple. There is

a help desk to help you out if you are stuck on programming part.

Moreover, there are two kinds of gateways to enter the program. One is

when you are a company & other choice to join as DBS – Doing

Business As. What differentiate the two among each other are papers to

prove. If you join as a firm, you are supposed to show some papers like

license. And if the iPad app development is DBA, you would be an

individual developer across the spectrum of store.

Above mentioned tidbits of information initiate the process of giving

something unique to the iPad business aspirations. We all love the front

end but in the back drop, there is the hard work which makes iPad an

iPad.

Platform of iPad app development intrigues every developer who is

attached with Apple’s technology. This guide talks about basic things

about iPad app development.
