Well, where do I begin? First of all, it’s great to become a contributing member of TheAppleBlog. I’ve been a TAB fan for quite some time so it feels pretty surreal to be part of the team. I look forward to hearing about your projects and ideas!<\/p>\n
I’ll start off by letting you know that I hail from The Emerald City (yeah that’s Seattle). Most folks think we are an unassuming bunch who drink too much coffee while working on our Windows PC’s. While I do like a good a mocha, I’m also part of Seattle’s growing Mac community that’s building some pretty cool stuff for the iPhone and iPod touch.<\/p>\n
As a self-described geek and software engineer I’ll be writing articles to help unravel the mystery of developing apps for iPhone OS. In addition to writing code, I’ll examine various aspects of the software development process including planning, testing and design. If you’re planning the next great app hopefully I can provide the “secret sauce” to help move your concept from idea to the App Store.<\/p>\n
Don’t think coding is for you? Even if you are a project manager, sales person or business type, learning about the technology that has captured world attention may prove useful to your company or career.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>I’ve spent my entire career in software development, with a primary focus on building web-based applications. Over the years I\u2019ve worked in project management, coding, database development and quality assurance. I also ran my own software consulting company for 5 years.<\/p>\n In 2009 I took notice of iPhone OS as a legitimate development platform when Apple announced they had 50,000 apps in its app store. Like many iPhone developers I\u2019d spent most of my career immersed in other technologies so I spent many months learning a new set of tools, processes and programming language.<\/p>\n This past year I released my first iPhone app called Jingle!<\/a> that integrates music and social media. I also have an interest in education, mapping and GPS systems and plan to develop new titles for the iPad.<\/p>\n Well, where do I begin?
