So I get MS Access LinkedIn updates and I see a long discussion on where to go from Access with regard to web development. As I stated earlier, if you haven't embraced it yet, it may be too late. That is one of my reasons for jumping into iOS and Objective-C. Well, anyway, the consensus is for a rapid app development platform known as Alpha 5. From what I see, it looks like a nice tool that will allow some rapid development and nice access to many powerful databases such as Oracle or SQL Server. I think this could be a nice option for certain things but I am not sure if I want to also invest the time along with Objective-C. Moreover, there are no opportunities out there for this.
However, when strolling through Indeed.com, it is scary how many Java jobs there are out there. More than any other technology. Regardless, I am banking on the TIOBA analysis that Objective-C is hot and getting hotter. One more year, one more year. I have finished reading chapter 6 today and will work through as many of the chapter-ending exercises as I can tomorrow. Being that I have finished 124 pages, I guess that would mean I am 1/4 of the way through the book.
Just ordered a new book on Amazon today entitled Tapworthy: Designing Great iPhone Apps by Josh Clark. This is a highly rated book and I am hoping it can show examples of good apps as well as providing some insight into attractive development techniques.
