iPhone development

Hello there,

Is there anyone out there at all doing iPhone devpt. I downloaded the iPhone SDK but quickly got a headache. I needed a good lay down and a cup of herbal tea!

Apple's licensing forbids all interpreted languages except JavaScript, and then only running in a browser.

So your choices are limited to Objective C or some other compiled language which can use the API, or a JavaScript-based solution in a browser.

You can also use Unity (if you're into 3d), because it produces compiled apps. For general iPhone and Cocoa development, I suggest asking at iDevGames.
