Interface Builder (IB)


• Visually build interfaces.

• Drop and drag UI controls.

• Change properties visually.

• Concept of wiring.

• Connect to instance variables using outlets.

• Use actions to fire methods.

Resources


• Apple Human Interface Guidelines.

• Edward Tufte on iPhone design.

iPhone Development• Tools

• Objective-C

• Design Patterns

• Frameworks

• Data

• Resources


Tools

• Xcode IDE

• Simulator

• Instruments

• Shark


Objective-C• Derived from the C programming language.

• Syntax from Smalltalk, and is Object based.

• Separates files for interface and implementation.

• Uses message passing to object instances.

• Reference counting for memory model.

• Much more...


Objective-C 2.0

• Garbage collection. (sorry no iphone)

• Properties (dot syntax with classes)

• Faster enumeration


Objective-C Code


#import <Foundation/NSObject.h>

@interface Fraction: NSObject { int numerator; int denominator;}

-(void) print;-(void) setNumerator: (int) n;-(void) setDenominator: (int) d;-(int) numerator;-(int) denominator;@end

Objective-C Code


#import "Fraction.h"#import <stdio.h>

@implementation Fraction-(void) print { printf( "%i/%i", numerator, denominator );}-(void) setNumerator: (int) n { numerator = n;}-(void) setDenominator: (int) d { denominator = d;}-(int) denominator { return denominator;}@end

Objective-C Code


#import <stdio.h>#import "Fraction.h"

int main( int argc, const char *argv[] ) { // create a new instance Fraction *frac = [[Fraction alloc] init];

// set the values [frac setNumerator: 1]; [frac setDenominator: 3];

printf( "The fraction is: " ); [frac print]; printf( "\n" );

// free memory [frac release];

return 0;}
