Does/has anyone create/d any phone applications? Typically blackberry, iPhone etc? If so, what have you created?
taffy3350 (2)Nov 9, 2009 at 1:54pm UTC
yes, in java on blackberry and many types.
mcleano (922)Nov 9, 2009 at 9:41pm UTC
Ahh was purely curiosity. I might be getting a blackberry soon and remembered that you could develop your own apps for it. How do you find the API?

@guestgulkan ... Sorry that wasn't actually a question asking how to find it. I meant: do you like the API etc...?

I've taken a look at Objective-C (for the iTouch platform), and it looked completely illegible. Made absolutely no sense. Perl is easier to read.

1 @interface classname : superclassname {
// instance variables
}
+classMethod1;
+(return_type)classMethod2;
+(return_type)classMethod3:(param1_type)parameter_varName;
-(return_type)instanceMethod1:(param1_type)param1_varName :(param2_type)param2_varName;
-(return_type)instanceMethod2WithParameter:(param1_type)param1_varName andOtherParameter:(param2_type)param2_varName;
@end
is easier to read! What the hell do the + and - signs do? What the hell is that?1 #import <stdio.h>
int main( int argc, const char *argv[] ) {
printf( "hello world\n" );
return 0;
}
more sense! You're not shipping the header file across the pacific; you're including it in your project! That's a stupid language; they probably only changed include to import so that they can say "look, our hello world is different than yours!".

Now, hold on a second. Objective-C's syntax may be vomit-inducing, but it is readable. Perl is just line noise.Include makes more sense!
No, it doesn't. It's just syntax. Why volatile

Why volatile? Does the variable evaporate quickly?

Wow, thanks for pointing that out. Otherwise, I would have missed a reply intended for me, quoting my post.

#import Imports a header file. This directive is identical to #include, except that it doesn’t include the same file more than once.

Well that's not funny. I hope Dick is the name of a guy and not your Johnson.

Oh, you guys don't frequent /prog/. Good for you.

I went there once; and all the files I opened were blank even though I could clearly see (through Nautilus) that they contained text :l

Fortunately, you're allowed to use C++ instead, but it's much more complicated than just using Objective-C apparently.
