Today was my first day going to the iphone app programming class during interim term. The first part of class was an introduction to the app programming/developing and to the program on our computers. We used an application on the computer which simulates the iphone (or ipad), and it shows what is going on in our apps. I learned how to import icons into the app, like a smiley face and a falcon, and I was able to make the smiley face rotate in circles forever. This seems easy but it took a good 30 minutes!
After the first period, we took a break for lunch then returned for the second session. This one was much more challenging but also very fun. Mr. Howe gave us time to play with our apps and try new stuff, like make things fly off the screen and enlarge them. Then, he taught us how to make the falcon icon follow the touch of your finger. So if I touched the screen in the top left corner, the icon would follow.
So far this class has been very exciting and fun. I have learned a lot in a short amount of time and I hope to keep up the progress.
