The process of creating customized applications for iPhone for the iPhone OS is akin to creating a Mac OS X application, at a higher level. Both operating systems employ similar tools and basic libraries. But, there are significant differences between an iPhone application developer and a Mac OS application developer.

Although the iPhone has its own OS, it is not a desktop computer. The purpose and the design approach are completely different. An iPhone application developer seizes the advantages of the iPhone OS. Due to the compact size of the iPhone touch screens, developers can create well organized and focused user applications that have a simple and easy user-interface.

The ability to develop iPhone applications from scratch has led to an astonishing outpouring of interest from the application developer community. Creating a simple and practical application requires over 100 hours of dedication and more than 2,000 lines of code. Most developers create applications through an object oriented programming language called as an Objective C or Cocoa. In layman’s term, objective C is used to write all Mac OS applications and iPhone applications.

If an iPhone application developer has a good idea, enough free time and, of course a Mac computer, he can develop innovative applications for iPhone. Due to excellent documentation and great examples, a developer gets an excellent platform to make his career in iPhone website development

When a developer creates applications for the App Store, he has to choose whether he wants to distribute applications as freeware or for purchase. If an iPhone user purchases an application, about 70 percent of the revenue goes to the developer while Apple enjoys a 30 percent share.

Novice developers seeking to reserve a career in iPhone application development have to download the SDK and pay a modest amount annually to become an expert developer. There are many companies that outsource iPhone application development projects to developers. This ensures a stable career for would-be expert iPhone application developers.

Welcome to my new series – iPhone Applications of the Month. READ THIS BEFORE DOWNLOADING EITHER OF THESE APPS: It was brought to my attention by a user commenting this video that in the privacy agreement for these two apps, it states that it will sync your contacts into their server and the voice recordings you speak. So make sure if/when you use this app to not say something very personal or anything like that. February Applications: Dragon Search: cuthut.com Dragon Dictation: cuthut.com
