Apple Project ?

What about a mobile.codeproject.com? All things mobile including iPhone, Android (if they ever update the bloody APIs etc etc)
cheers, Chris Maunder
CodeProject.com : C++ MVP
Yeah, the iPhone is the thing where I have some ideas, and where I see a need, so that sounds like a great idea to me. If you were to create such an area, I'd write some iPhone articles as soon as I was allowed to. I've written the simplest of apps, and some of most basic things have taken a day or two of googling and trawling through terrible documentation to figure out. So, I have a number of ideas for things that should be better documented that I'd write about in the first instance, for sure.

That would be interesting, but an apple.codeproject.com would too (to me at least)

As some of you may know, I've been coding for the iPhone. The iPhone SDK is under NDA right now, and the apple docs are as good as the MS docs, which means a lot of things that should be easy, are a nightmare. It seems to me that there's a real opening for a site like CP that has iPhone and Cocoa articles and forums. How many of you guys write for Apple and think that's a good idea ? For the record, the two possibilities I am exploring here are 1 - such a site exists and I didn't know about it, or 2 - Chris should add an Apple next to SQL/Java/*nix on the CP toolbar. Fact is, I've been kicked out of the MS MVP program , the MS centric forums tend to be depressing with repetitive questions at the most basic level and one votes for helpful answers, I'm feeling disillusioned about contributing to helping people use Microsoft products, but I still love being part of CP, it would make me very happy if I could write articles on the iPhone and have them appear here.

Can you start a new site: appleproject.com?

I agree! There aren't as many Apple-centric developer sites available as for Windows. I'd really enjoy reading (and contributing to!) "Apple Project".

Apple's whole approach is IMO insane, although I suspect the rationale is to keep the thing virus free, which I would say DOES make a lot of sense.
It doesn't really make a lot (or any) sense. They are using security by obscurity. That is insane!

It's the same reason that Apple users can claim not to wory about viruses - the scammers and other evil people out there shoot at the biggest targets in the assumption that some will hit home - they don't bother with the little targets. If the number of Apple installations ever came to rival Windows installations, you can bet your bottom dollar they would be targeted just as much and holes and exploits would be found!

So, is there a site? Or is Chris going to add "Apple" in the toolbar? I own cocoasoftware.com and don't do anything with that if anyone would like to start something. Todd

I second that! I've been trying to program for the iPhone since a few months now. I started the wrong way probably in not reading up too much before trying to put our C++ based game engine onto the iPhone. Although it supports C++ code and our engine seems ported (compiles and runs :) )... I've really missed a forum like CP. Apple ideally should've had a forum on their site (not sure if there's one I don't know of.

Hi Christian, So? Any updates on this topic; have you come to a decision yet? Personally I'd love to see a board like CP dedicated to iPhone/Apple development. Looking forward, Peter.
