31 Your First iOS Application

In this chapter, you are going to create an iOS application: a simple to-do list application called iTahDoodle that stores its data as a property list. Here is what it will look like when you are done.

Complete iTahDoodle application

We have intentionally kept this chapter and this application very simple. It is not intended to prepare you to build iOS apps on your own, but it will give you a quick taste of iOS development. It introduces some important concepts and patterns, and we hope that it will inspire you to dive into iOS programming after you have finished this book.
