What a Meetup - 99 Presentation Slides an a 12 minute iPhone App Sprint!

All of that and I only touched the surface of iPhone/iOS development. That’s a lot of information (lol). I wanted to drill into iOS Classes in more details, and how Messages are passed to Class Objects, but I guess I’ll have to cover that next time. Thank you all for attending. Much appreciated. Please follow on @MobileDevNJ and if you have any topics you’d like to see presented. Please let me know.

Here’s the Code!

What a great Meetup! Millennial Media is the leading independent mobile advertising and data platform powering the app economy.

Their services include ways for any developer to Advertising and more importantly monetize their applications. They demo’d the service and offered our members $100 worth of advertising credits for free. Awesome.

It was an amazing platform used by tons of well know and best selling apps including Words With Friends. Check them out at the URL below

If you’re thinking about launching a paid app, or maybe even a free app and want to offer premium content to your users, try in app purchasing. Free apps give you wider distribution and once your app is out there charging for premium content is simple. All you need is three API calls. All three are discussed in this presentation. Usually we add a hands-on coding exercise, but that’ll have to wait until next time! If you’re interested in a hands-on in-App purchasing demo. Let us know.

The project is quite easy and touches on UIGestureRecognizer, CoreGraphics and UIImage.  The project has been posted to the MobileDevNJ Github and you can grab it here.
