Officially an iOS developer!

For one of my 2012 goals, I chose to save up money for an iPad, learn to program it, and then create an app that would help me and my wife keep track of our goals, tasks, and priorities. This has at least three immediate benefits: 1) I get an iPad 2) I keep sharpening the saw professionally, practicing my programming skills and learning about releasing products 3) I get more organized and am able to live better That last one's kind of nebulous, but I hope that as these posts continue, you'll see my vision for what my task management app will do. (By the way, my purposes don't include making money -- I'm not really in it for income... more for the experience and having a worthwhile tool.) Well, I finally saved up enough money for the iPad about a month ago, and yesterday I took the plunge and registered with Apple as a developer. So, that's the news! Kind of boring, huh? But wait, there's more! I had my first iOS programming attempt several months ago already on the computer, and I was able to (with minimal effort) get it to compile for my iPad and download! Here it is: Okay, so it's not much to look at. Basically, if you enter in a decimal number, it converts to hexadecimal. If you enter a hexadecimal number, it updates the decimal field. The UI isn't anything pretty, but it does use multiple classes, and shows some simple UI elements. Forward, ho!
