Head First

Ok I've read all the Objective-C and iPhone SDK books I can. My fingers are itching, the ideas are flowing and I don't have a clue as to what I'm doing - time to start coding!

The dive into XCode/Mac/iPhone development is a lot of fun. I think it's good to be a beginner again - after 7 years of full time C# coding it is a little humbling to have to figure out how to do the proverbial ''Hello World' program in XCode.

One item I have been impressed with is XCode's focus on 'doing it right' rather than doing it any damn way you well please. MVC patterns seemed to be ingrained into the DNA of XCode as opposed to Visual Studio which you certainly could use MVC with but it so easy to be lazy and ignore it.

The basics

Read this today and decided to setup the 'business' side of Can't Lose Software and register for the iPhone Developer program well before we have a product to sell.

In order to sell under a company name on the App Store you must have a registered business. It appears you cannot switch from the personal account to a corporate account. Turns out that registering for a business in the state of Colorado is very straightforward and can be done entirely online. At the same time I setup a domain and used Mobile Me to host it.

Submitted the application to Apple, was given a confirmation number.........
