i have some (stupid) questions, about how to develop apps for the Iphone.
1. Can Apps developed with the Apple Iphone SDK be distributed freely via the installer app, or only through Apple appStore?
2. How where Apps developed before there was the SDK?
What are the easiest/most common ways to develop apps for the Iphone?
Can anyone recommend a good starting point (tutorials)i am proficient in Java, C++, Javascript, Actionscript, PHP

you'll need to learn SproutCore:

Jut discovered this:
http://iphonedevcentral.org/AppStore will be launches in a week or so, but only 4000 developers were accepted to the beta program so far. It might take months before they will let everyone in.
Future of Installer Apps isn't that certain now as things might change with the 2.0 firmware.

If your app is web-based, it can always be accessed via the browser. A user can just bookmark it, and the icon will show up on their home screen.
The code is going to all be regular web-code (js,html), but there are a few things that iphone can do that other browsers cant. They are all described in Webkit: http://developer.apple.com/opens…
This is the kind of method that MT uses for their iphone account center, for instance.
hope that helps
- But the Apps available through the installer app are not web based, right?meisterschueler

1. No
2. User created development tools and UIs coded by hand instead of drag and drop like regular Mac apps and iPhone dev kit apps.Sproutcore is nothing to do with iPhone applications at this stage.

ok thank you.
i'll go through the resources.
What would be great if there was a "making of" from start to distribution of an existing App.
- I've got a small app I'm going to test the same thing. Maybe I'll document the stages...joyride
- Please do so!
i am really curious!
