This is an interactive post! We are looking for you. You are an avid iPhone or iTouch user, willing to be on the cutting bleeding edge. You have patience enough to test new and undocumented applications–and you have willingness to share thoughts, inspiration and frustration for application improvements.

If you have been following my tutorials, you know that we have been working primarily with UITableViews.  This is mostly because SO many applications can be developed using this simple control.  This final UITableView tutorial will be taking all of the skills learned from previous tutorials, putting them all together, and adding SQLite to create a prioritized To-Do list.  I will also be showing you how to add multiple columns to your table cells and we will be exploring some …

Kip! Nowhere yet, but he will be soon. Here’s a bit of design flesh behind Kip Island.
One of the first steps in creating an application is to let the product team dream. The right energy–unchecked brainstorms and excess creativity–are key to getting ideas flowing without the censorship of the reality of implementation.
Kip’s gameplay has been brewing for some time, and our design team is now presenting design options. Now the rest of the team gets involved …

The goal of this tutorial is to show you how to populate a UITableView with data from an array of objects. This will be the building block to display XML data as well as SQL data.
The theme of this application will be fruit. We will create an array of “fruit” objects that have some additional information besides the name. We will populate a UITableView with the names of the fruits. When the user selects a fruit …

OK, so 20-someodd votes for a forum has swayed me for now.  I went ahead and put up a forum on iCodeBlog.  This will be experimental as it’s such a sad site to see failing forums with a lack of participation.  With that in mind, I will set a goal:
If the forum has at least 50 registered users by next week 08/14/08 (which shouldn’t be that hard, the site already gets over 500 unique visits per day), it stays.  …

There have been some recent talks about putting some sort of forum/discussion system on iCodeBlog.  It appears that writing problems and solutions in the comments section is not sufficient.  I’m not too sure about this as I feel this might make the site a little cluttered.  However, I am completely willing to put one in place if enough people are interested and could find benefit in it.
With that in mind, I have created a poll.  Go ahead and fill it …

Well, it has been about 3 weeks now since the launch of the iPhone and Apple has released the much anticipated 2.0.1 software update for the iPhone yesterday.
Since downloading this 250 MB beast of firmware, I haven’t had much time to play with it. After a quick runthrough of a few programs, I have noticed an overall performance improvement. They seemed to have fixed the lag when scrolling through contacts, which was a huge frustration for me.
I …

Here’s a teaser of one of our pipelined apps. We’re taking a fun concept, great design and new gameplay to the iPhone. Over the next weeks we’ll be leaking a few design shots. Stay posted.

This tutorial will focus on transitioning from one view to another. We will be utilizing Apple’s UINavigationController. I will be using the code from the “Hello World” tutorial that I previously wrote. So if you have not completed it yet, go ahead and do it and come back to this page. (It’s quick I promise). You can view it here.
In this tutorial you will learn:

Add A …

Less than a month after we released our first iPhone applications, we’ve landed two stellar clients for custom iPhone application development. We’re taking one client’s well-adopted website and creating an iPhone-centric experience to extend their presence out to their users. Our other opportunity is with a household brand pushing the envelope in a usually bland space. 

We’ll be heads-down over the coming weeks, but look forward to promoting two successful launches!
