Iphone Development On Windows

 

Is iphone development on Windows possible?  The answer is a resounding yes. It’s Chad again… first of all thank you for being patient while I was researching whether or not creating iphone apps and games can be done in the Windows environment.

Click here to view the course that made creating iphone apps possible on a PC

If you are like me you are not a Mac person but rather a PC user, but still wanted to create a smartphone game or an app  to try to sell and make a bit of cash.  After all  according to stats by the Yankee Group: Americans alone, by the year 2013 will buy mobile applications worth $4.2 billion.  But because I don’t have a Mac I wanted to know if iphone development on windows was possible because even though I know the process will cost some money, I didn’t want to go out and buy an expensive Mac.

Great news!! Iphone development on Windows is very possible.  In fact I found a course that has an entire chapter devoted to creating iphone games and apps on a pc.

Screen shot from course

After purchasing the course I was a bit upset but not for the reason you might think.  I recently completed an accelerated computer class (18 weeks) that I paid $4700 for at the local college and received less of an education than what is in this 4 week course for only $1 for the 30 day trial.  The course I’m rambling on about is iphone DevSecrets.

Click here to see what I’m rambling about.

Now don’t be freaked out if you don’t have any programming ability this course will walk a newbie through each step to becoming very comfortable with creating smartphone apps and games.  I do have to warn you though, when you check out the course by clicking on the link the video on the page has a very cheesy sounding announcer guy on it.  Don’t let that turn you off.  The course has soooo much info packed into it for the price that you’ll be happy you took the $1 trial.

Now here are a few details of the course:

     

  • 4 weeks of lessons
  • Audio/video and Pdfs
  • 7 Additional video tutorials
  • $1 trial price for 30 days then you are billed the balance for a total of $99
  • 60 day money back guarantee

Bonuses include:

  • Developer secrets-9 interviews with successful developers
  • Best iphone development resources
  • Source code
  • The 54 amazing source code iphone apps
  • Chapter 15 about iphone development on Windows (I am mentioning this in the bonus section because I think of this as a bonus).

There is also an AppMastery section with an additional 5 weeks of learning.

There are so many people starting to make a killing by giving away (yes for free) and selling smartphone games and apps so why can’t you?  It is way simpler than you thought.  Be careful however not to become overwhelmed with all of the information.  Take the course one bit at a time.  This is a complete course from conception of an idea right through marketing it.

I am so happy that I found iphone DevSecrets I just wish I had discovered it before I spent $4700 on that college course.

Anyway:  Click here to check the course out for yourself

I’ll keep an eye out for your app to hit the market,

Smartphone Apps and the Mobile Society

Posted on February 21, 2011 by admin

More and more we are turning into a mobile society.  Smartphones, and smartphone apps are more popular than ever, and data plans with most of the carriers are coming down in price too.  All of the internet sites are now becoming mobile compatible because they have to be to remain competitive.

The iphone and other types of smartphones are becoming the alternative to the laptop.  Now you can just take your keys, wallet, and phone when you leave the house because you won’t need your laptop to get on the net.  Pretty soon I have heard that you will only need your keys and phone, because you will pay through merchant processors using your phone.  You better believe there is a smartphone app for that.  I know this is already being rolled out in other countries.

I also believe that the smartphone prices themselves will become cheaper if not given at no cost in the future to help promote the mobile society thinking.  After all, the providers will probably be receiving some sort of kickback from the merchant processing companies.

So if you thought there was a lot of smartphones out there today just wait.  I think this is the way of the future.   It is a great time to get on the smartphone app creator wagon.  I have learned that if you create an app or a game for a smartphone that you don’t even have to charge for it to make money.  Some of the richest iphone and ipad game and app creators don’t charge for their apps they offer them for free.

What a cool idea, create a useful or fun app, give it away for free, and make money.

Now the trick is to find out how hard is it to create a smartphone app? How to go about it and what sort of knowledge do I need?  I am still researching all of these questions so I will keep you updated when I find out more.

iphone Development On Windows – Is It Possible?

Posted on February 21, 2011 by admin

iphone AppI was wondering if iphone development on windows was possible, that is why I created this site.  I wanted to do some research about creating some iphone games and apps and to see how difficult it would be for someone with next to no programming skills to successfully write an app for either an iphone or an ipad.

I don’t currently own a Mac so this is why I am looking to see if iphone development on windows is possible and how hard it will be.  I have found some interesting information about game and application development on windows using a few different techniques.

I am still in the process of going through it all but I do have to say that it looks very promising.  I still have a lot to go through but once I sift through it all I will post what I find to be useful or otherwise.

I’ll keep you updated.
