Apple Computers and their MacOS came into existence long before Windows OS. But Windows is the one that dominates the OS world. Whatever may be the reason for it, but this is the fact. Due to this reason, majority of the software developers doesn't have any idea about the MacOS and they care the least about it. That was ok till now, until the release of iPhone and iPhone SDK.
Now iPhone, which contains a stripped down version of MacOS, is so popular that any software developers would like to try developing an application
for it.
But for a .NET, Windows Mobile or J2ME developer, the hurdles to cross before running their hello world on an iPhone 3G are so many such as...
-Apple Mac Pro Computer
-iPhone 3G
-Mac OS 10.5.5 or above
-XCode IDE & Interface Builder 3.1.1
-iPhone SDK 2.1
-Objective C language
-iPhone Development Certification
To see a "hello world" application on your iPhone, you will have to deal with all the items in the list above. Though there can be few compromises in some, generally you will need all of the above.
I will go through each of these in the forthcoming posts to give you a better idea..
