My name is Sebastian Windele. I'm a 28 year old software developer living in Melbourne Australia. I have used windows based PC's since high school and have never used, let alone owned, an Apple computer in my life. That is until now...

iPhone SDK

Well a while ago Apple released the iPhone SDK and I can’t wait to get into it.  This allows any developer to create applications that run directly on the Apple iPhone.  You can download it here:

http://developer.apple.com/iphone/

There are heaps of resourses on that page to get you going.  I am writing an application that requires the use of a database.  iPhone applications can use SQLite which is a light, opensource database engine that writes directly to the disk which makes it perfect for the iPhone.  I could not find any Apple documentation on how to use SQLite on iPhone but found this helpful little blog post:

SQLite for iPhone SDK

I’ll report back on how I have gone with my application soon.

Later,

Seb.
