My first iOS app with Xcode

I’m not sure what inspired it since I have absolutely no free time with everything else going on in my personal and professional lives, but I decided to learn iOS development. I followed a couple tutorials on Apples Developer site, which was surprisingly easy to get an app up and running in the iPhone emulator.

The problem lays in trying to get said app on an actual device. Apparently if your iPhone isn’t jail broken you can’t live test your app without a yearly subscription to Apples Developer Program.

Needless to say, after spending 8-9 hours building an app and not being able to test it on my iPhone I’d had it.

So, instead of a tutorial on your first iPhone app, you get me bitching about Apple wanting $99 a year to test new apps on my personal iPhone and a link to Apples “Your First iOS App” tutorial.

I will post up a small how-to for an iPhone app once I’m over being mad about the $99/year.

But hey. Xcode is cool! Go download it and check it out.

How Cloud Computing is Changing the Mobile World

It's no secret that mobile platforms are more popular now than ever before. With the success of smart phones and tablets, people the world over are spending much of their time on the go fiddling with new technology. While mobile computing was once more frustrating than perhaps it was worth, Dell Cloud computing has practically changed everything. The cloud makes utilizing mobile technology infinitely easier than it once was, and allows even the busiest of individuals to stay on task. The following are three reasons why cloud computing is changing the mobile world, all of which amount to a more streamlined experience.

Cloud Computing Makes Documents Easily Accessible

One of the most frustrating issues that comes along with mobile platforms is the fact that storing documents and other data on these devices can be difficult; this is especially true for smart phone users. The cloud has changed everything, however, making it possible to access documents and data quickly and easily. As a result, there's no need to store anything on the device itself while the data lives in the cloud. Many people find this to be the biggest benefit of cloud computing and how it impacts the mobile world.

Cloud Computing Allows for Easy Syncing

Another major benefit that the cloud has brought to mobile technology is the ability to sync documents, calendars and other information. For example, many people like to do their scheduling on a laptop or PC, as typing things out is typically easier on these platforms. Thanks to the cloud, you can create schedules on your PC and sync them up with your phone so that you'll have them on the go. Syncing is the wave of the future, and further supports the notion of a streamlined interplay between different platforms of technology.

Cloud Computing is Effortless

For those who are new to the world of cloud computing, it's not uncommon to feel a bit intimidated by it all. The fact is, however, cloud computing is extremely effortless, requiring little to no work on the part of the user in order to maintain powerful functionality. Most applications sync with the cloud automatically, and usually offer a walk-through on how to sync certain items for those who prefer to do so manually. As a result, no one should worry about cloud computing being too confusing, as it is designed with simplicity in mind; perfect for mobile platforms.
