Blog objective

I set this up to chronicle my experience in developing iphone applications. This could be a tale of woe or a tale of success, but only time will tell.

What to expect


In this blog I will layout objectives, talk about development issues, sketch out designs, and discuss issues of marketing, analytics, and advertising.

Development Environment


Primarily I am using phoneGap to do development for the iPhone. The reason is is that I have a lot of javascript/html experience and phoneGap lets you write code in javascript/html and embed it in a releasable app. This also means it is really easy to rapidly test an app in the browser.

I will also be using the Canvas html element. It allows for bitmap graphics animations controlled by javascript. This means I can easily use images and shapes and move them around to create interactive games.
