Barcamp 2008 iPhone SDK Demo Source

I hope you enjoyed the brief (!) overview of the iPhone SDK at Barcamp 2008. Here’s a link to the source in case you want to tinker or just get some ideas. This demo is just meant to help you get your feet wet. Don’t forget to use async connections for fetching large files — I can’t stress this enough.

Hi, I’m Apple and I like to..

ban people from using my iPhone SDK to do useful things, presumably so I can do those useful things with less features and sell them for more than the 3rd party would with more features.

Edit: Oh and heaven forbid people have applications that actually run in the background.  That would be the “wrong solution” so instead we’ll wait until september for them to give us a server to push “events” to the phones instead of letting us have the functionality immediately.  Everyone should just forget that practically every other mobile platform out there aside from the ever-crappy PalmOS allows background processes in some form or another without killing battery life.

Edit 2: So it looks like it was a sham (copied from the google maps terms), but the first edit still stands.
