AppsAmuck iPhone Development Tutorials and Examples

„Our Idea

The key here is simple: „Taking baby steps is better than taking no steps at all!“ We plan on writing 31 iPhone applications in the next 31 days. We will publish both the executable and the source code for each application. Our goal is for each of these applications to be useful, interesting, and straight-forward. Someone considering writing their first iPhone application should be able to look at these applications and „get it“.
Our Plan

If you search, you can find tons of simple code to do specific tasks, like playing a message beep. What you’ll have a harder time finding are simple applications, with source code, that can be the building blocks for new developer’s understanding of mobile development. It’s our hope that in the next 31 days we can do something to help you with that.“

„Extend Firefox 3 has wrapped up and we’re very excited to announce the winners! We received well over 100 entries, representing hundreds of hours of hard work from people around the world.

Many of these extensions are in their early stages of experimental development, however we have seen some powerful new tools and prototypes that we are excited to share. It was hard to determine the winners, but at last, here they are.“

Saldomat – Onlinebanking für jeden Tag

DAS ist mal ein Online-Banking-Programm wie man es sich auf dem Mac vorstellt: Es bindet sich in die Menüleiste ein, zeigt dort auf Wunsch direkt den Kontostand, holt die neuesten Buchungen automatisch, warnt bei Unterschreitung eines bestimmten Pegels, führt automatisch Aktionen per AppleScript aus und macht die Buchungen per RSS lesbar. GEKAUFT!


„Haben Sie Ihr Konto immer im Blick? Ist Ihnen ein Online-Bankingprogramm auch zu umständlich, dass Sie es viel zu selten benutzen? Würden Sie gerne Buchungen auf Ihrem Konto genauso einfach und schnell sehen wie neue Emails im Emailprogramm?
Dann könnte der Saldomat genau das Richtige für Sie sein. Wir wollten ein Bankprogramm, das man jeden Tag benutzt und dass es einem so einfach wie möglich macht, Konten im Blick zu behalten. Mit Saldomat ist dies nun endlich Wirklichkeit. Sehen Sie selbst!“

KediSoft – Invoice, Style you finances

„Invoice is a full-featured invoice application for SOHO or business users. It has been designed from scratch to use the power and beauty of the Mac OS, while making life as easy as possible for its users.
Since Invoice was designed purely for OSX, it is not simply a port from another platform, unable to take full advantage of the OSX operating system. Invoice uses it ALL.“
