Part III. Lay the Groundwork

Lay the Groundwork

In this part ...

The excitement is building, your idea for an iPhone application feels more and more like a reality, and perhaps you're lying awake at night wondering what to do next. (Don't worry — staying up at night fretting is not a requirement here.)

In this part, we go through some of the necessary steps to get you started on creating your iPhone application. We cover the registration process with Apple to become an iPhone developer and then detail the parts of the Software Development Kit your developer will need to create the app. Then we describe some extra tools that other folks have created that can speed up or smooth out your programming efforts. Once you've got all the software, it's time for the physical stuff — namely, the team of people you plan to use in order to create your app.

It doesn't require a village to write an app, but the more help and skills you can get, the better.
