Like true writers who love it so much, they write regardless, well I've found my calling.Writing iPhone apps, oh I am having SUCH fun learning!
To the right is my 'Hello World' sort of app (Hello World is a sort of computer term meaning when I piece of hardware/code first comes online."
The app to the write is actually the second one I wrote, the first was me following along with the first class demo of how to write an app that had a slider in it.
This exercise here, (the first class assignments was way more fun.)
The snapshot here was taken as it was running on the iPhone Simulator. I haven't learned yet how to install them on my phone and I decided not to go ahead and figure that out because before I would load this on my phone, I would need to change the app icon to be something more cool than an ugly white generic one!
Oh happy days . . .
I also bought a new MacBook Pro to learn my iPhone App progamming. It has a built in camera and a mouse pad that has some of the same touch features as the iPhone. I'm in tech heaven.
Now I just need to be employed to pay for all of it!
Have you found your passion - that thing you love to do, and will do regardless whether or not you can earn money from it?

Hi Lisa, I was wondering how you were when I didn't see you around lately. I missed you.
Writing iPhone apps sounds like fun and your Hello World has a very pretty picture. I can really relate to the rush of learning something new.
I've not done any programming myself, just played with BASIC in the olden days. I don't think HTML and CSS count, not at the level I'm at, anyway!
hi fairyhedgehog - I was thinking of you when I was in England last month. Where else can my husband have a beer and I can have tea in scones in a pub?
I'm not around so much on blogs since I'm looking for a job. Job searching rather cuts into the spare time.
I do browse around (mainly from my iPhone) but don't often leave a comment.
I've done some html and CSS also - I wrote my website www.lisanevin.com from html -versus using a tool to build it.
You should have popped in, I'd have given you tea!
I like your website. It's nice to see more about you and about your book. Are there excerpts from your book up anywhere?
OMG, that sounds so much fun! I can't wait to get my Ipod Touch so I can write apps for it, too!
(I'm serious. I'm a programmer too, ya know.)
But you could earn money from IPhone apps. Write something for writers. I'd buy it.
As for the thing that I love to do yet never made a dime doing . . . I think you know the answer to that question.
(But it's not exactly true. I've made 4 figures writing nonfiction. Not much, but enough to interest the IRS.)
There aren't any excerpts from my book - I suppose I could put up some pages.
Hi Tia, - you program in C - right?
Be amazed if you could manage to learn iPhone apps, day job AND write that all along with family.
