How to Create iPod Applications With SDK

Software Developer Kits (SDKs) are essential to third party developers who want to program applications for major companies such as Apple and their renowned iPod. SDK's for the iPods are available in several programming languages with JavaScript forming the foundation.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

1. Download the relevant SDK from an iPod developer website (see Resources). The standard SDK is based on Java Script, but for multimedia and other applications there are versions of the iPod SDK based on C++, Visual Basic and several others.
2. Examine the numerous examples of applications created using the iPod SDK (see Resources). Basic examples are available for various iPod applications which can be adapted and used as a basis for new applications.
3. Code the core of the application first. Leave the visual design until after the test phase. It's no use to have a beautiful interface that doesn't function. Apple will offer no guarantee for independently developed SDK's so keep the code concise and elegant.
4. Use existing proven small footprint database tools for any memory storage applications. A stable database is critical to functionality and many tried and true databases are freely available.
5. Test, test, test the application. Do not give up on a great idea though if the application does not work in one version of iPod SDK. Port the application into another SDK such as from Visual Basic to C++.
