First Application: Greetings

The path to first level of iPhone Development Heaven are these X easy steps. But make no mistakes they contain a lot you have to remember for a long time to come. I hope they are clear enough to follow and in case you might forget something along the way we will recap at the end.

Recap ∞

Because this is the first application we covered a lot of ground. Here we want to recap the most important points:

  • Outlets are placeholders for UI elements inside the application code
  • Actions are placeholders for method announced by the application code for the UI
  • In order for the UI and the application code to interact they must be properly wired up in the Interface Builder
  • Like Outlets and Actions Delegates implementations must be wired up in the Interface Builder with the Caller of the Delegate

  • The Context Menu (Right- or Control-Click) in the Interface Builder provide the mechanism to wire up in the Interface Builder

Have fun
