Good job! The goal is here is to keep pushing yourself. What will happen is that the next app will build on the skills you learn in the current app and so on.

Good job! The goal is here is to keep pushing yourself. What will happen is that the next app will build on the skills you learn in the current app and so on.
Once you finish your first app, I'd look into some open source projects and see how they are built and learn from them. It accelerates your learning, but you need the basics first.
TBNR and the iOS Docs are a great place to start, but there's nothing like just jumping right in. :)
Also a word of advice: Making the app is only 50% of the work if you are expecting to make significant income from the app.
- thefreshteapot 15y agoHaving released my first app at the end of October, I can confirm building the app is at the highest "only 50%". Having had very little interest for it. (less than 10 buys) I now fully understand marketing has a much larger role than a developer like me would have liked. 2012, I will learn iOS, yet I will also learn marketing. My first app was created with Titanium too, yet I feel it is important to learn iOS.
- dolbz 15y agoMaybe you could tell us what your app is? I tried looking to your blog without success. If I'd have found it you might have made another sale.
- thefreshteapot 15y agoThe name is "wordpoke". http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wordpoke/id471756627 http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wordpoke/id471756627 I use the app every day as I built it for me first, the internet second. A blog post is in draft, waiting the "first update" as its all part of the learning curve I wanted to cover in my journey into iOS development. A new update to the app will be arriving within 10 days, Apple willing. ( It was interesting to learn how to tackle upgrades to the database. ) Issues can be reported and progress can be viewed: https://github.com/freshteapot/wordpoke/issues https://github.com/freshteapot/wordpoke/issues New features are not on that list. The webpage for "wordpoke" is http://wordpoke.me http://wordpoke.me On the way to work, I realised I should and now will add it to my profile.
- epaga 15y agoJust a thought - the screenshots look really great, but you will definitely want to write a much longer app description. I would NEVER buy the app based on that description alone since it is $3 and I don't even fully understand what it's for. Why would I want to be reminded of certain words? Is it like a flashcard app?
- kentf 15y agoThanks for the encouragement! I agree on the 50% part. I am ready to my part on the next 50%!
