Recently, while reading an article in MacTech, I came across a stencil for storyboarding for the user interface of an iPhone app [1]. This would be handy as I have started planning a little app for my iPod Touch and reminded me of when I used to have a set of stencils for various aspects of the software design process. I’m sure that I used to be able to work through designs allot fast back then with just a few pads of paper, some stencils, coloured pencils, and some markers (can’t remember the name of them, the ones used by product designers). Anyway the reason for the post; I have been looking online for a set of stencils to replace my now missing ones (UML, Database, basic flow charting, user interface) without much luck and was hoping that someone may have a suggestion.

| Are you interested in software that can do that for you... rapid prototyping tool? I didn't even know actual stencils for stuff like this existed! | |

I am after physical stencils to use with pencil and paper, it was a long time ago when I had some, maybe they don't make anything like it any more. I think they where made by Helix. Edit: Looks like it was 'Staedtler', i'm still trying to find out exactly what they have, the web site is poor. and Linex | |

| I'm fairly sure that the SDK for the iPhone/iPod touch is only available for use on a Mac. | |

| The API for Mac apps is cocoa isn't it? I have a friend learning it. | |

Cocoa is one of the APIs for Mac OS X apps. It is the native object-oriented application program environment than uses the Objective-C language. Other APIs include Carbon, POSIX, X11, and Java. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocoa_(API) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_(API) | |
