The SDK Has Arrived!
Apparently developer.apple.com was hit pretty hard yesterday afternoon, but by later last night, the dust had settled. I was able to download the whopping 2.1 GB SDK, watch a few introductory videos, and write an application to run on the Aspen simulator. Woohoo!
Although I’ll confess I *had* already written a basic hello world app using the unofficial SDK, it’s really nice to actually have some documentation so I know what I’m doing. Lots of people put lots of time into this SDK, and it’s been worth the 8 month wait.
My first project will be an application for home lighting control — an iPhone app talking to a server on my Mac Mini which in turns talks to heyu to turn the lights on (and off). Although I like to work in the dark, it’s nice to have some light every now and then.
