I received a response from the President of Anywise Enterprise, the creator of my favorite workout app GymBuddy about how to add a decimal place to the keyboard for the iPhone. For my first update for iSupplement, I will be listening to user feedback to fix any problems/bugs that have come about and will be implementing the new decimal keyboard instead of ATM style entry. So if you have any suggestions for features or improvements feel free to comment or email me!

My newest app has been released today! After only 2 days of being submitted for review! This app combines health and fitness with technology! Here is the description:
The very first Supplement Tracking Application for the iPhone! Complete with great looking graphics, and tons of features. You already take supplements, why not make it easier to manage when to take them, when you took them, and your total supply?
Here is the link to iSupplement
The features include:
-Enter a new supplement and add in supplement name, type, quantity, amount taken per dose, how many hours in between every dose, and how many times it is taken a day Read more here...

As I have said before I have been working on my best app to date, over this last weekend I completed the app and submitted it to the app store approval process. Once approved this app will sell for $1.99 and would prove to be a great tool for fitness and tech people alike. I do not want to drop any hints about the application yet, since there is no other like it on the app store to date. I will update when I have more info!
I made this little batch program to help at work. I figured that other people may have a use for it so here it is. It is used to look up IP addresses when you have a list of server/computer names. I used it on a list of about 200 servers and it took about 8 minutes, manually would have taken much longer. Read more here...
I am currently (when I have free time) working on a new app for the iPhone/iPod touch…this new app will hopefully become a beautiful fusion of fitness and tech (just like the blog?). I do not want to give to many details about the app yet since there is none like it currently available and I do not have much time to work on it. I am hoping that I can finish this app soon, and fine tune and really polish it through updates, but to just get the first version on the app store and hopefully see some success from it.
After only 2 days of submitting my newest app to the app store, it went live! Million Shake Challenge is its name and it is available for download through iTunes or the App Store. Challenge yourself, challenge your friends, challenge everyone! Who will be the first to reach 1 million shakes of their phone? With online leader board you can race to be first! Here is this link: Million Shake Challenge
My newest app which I will not name yet has been submitted to the iTunes store, I am waiting for the ~2 week review process and then I will post when the app is available as well as more info about it!
After 2 1/2 weeks my first game app was finally approved by Apple and is now available for sale ($0.99). This was really a fun learning experience, and I think the app came out pretty good. I am working on another “game” or “entertainment” app but I am brushing up on my MySQL skills for the online leader board. I have been very busy lately with work, iPhone apps, and learning that I haven’t been able to post much, but the semester (last one) is over in a few weeks and I will have a lot more time.

Since my first app has been released, I have been working on updating it, and releasing a small puzzle game. Yesterday I submitted the updated Rainbow app (update info below) and Proxim app.
Rainbow will have new pretty colored buttons corresponding to the colors that the user (mainly toddlers) select. I will be working on adding sound, and other functions later on. Read more here...

I have finished reading iPhone Application Development for Dummies. All in all it was a good intro into development, if you have experience with C or even Objective-C. Since I do not have a background in either of these languages the book really just served as a tool for brushing up on Xcode and Interface Builder.
A few things I didn’t like about this book include: Read more here...
- The author is continuously making comments about advanced things you could do, but it is not covered in the scope of the book.
Starting Out
I have been doing a lot of research lately on just how to start programming and making apps (to sell!) for the iPhone. One common theme I have come across is the need for a slight background knowledge in C or C++ programming. Well, at first that was a bummer, then I realized that the Objective C language that the iPhone uses is some what similar to Java, which I just happened to have a main focus in in college. Now Apple provides all of the tools you need to start programming and developing apps, there is just one catch, these tools consist of 1000’s of pages of documentation. For those who aren’t that familiar with the C programming language Apple has a nice introduction into Objective C here. Read more here...
I just finished my very first, and very basic iPhone app. The app was inspired by my daughter to help teach young kids colors, and keep them distracted when they snatch your phone. All the child has to do it press a button to display the color, very simple, yet my daughter loves it.
The app is currently in review with apple and I will hopefully get it published within 14 days. When it is available I will post the URL.
I am planning some new features already which may include, color mixing, audio, maybe some animation, etc. Read more here...
