Over the last few months I’ve been digging into devloping an iPhone/iPod Touch game. While I am not ready to announce it, I thought I’d give a few thoughts.

First, I love Objective-C and Cocoa. Right now these are my preferred tools for development. I’ve been toying with Mac development for a couple years, but diving into it for the iPhone has been fun. I am of the opinion that C is the wrong way to add objects to C, and Objective-C has proven that for me. The language is simple and powerful. And Apple has done a great job porting Cocoa to a mobile device.

As for the App Store, I view it mainly as a mechanism for sale and not a marketing tool as some people seem to believe. Viewed in this context, it is a great thing. We all have out hopes for how Apple could improve it, but I just want to applaud them right now. There’s nothing else like it, and it seems to be a resounding success.

More thoughts coming later…
