ITST iPhone app???

[Ali-Iqb93]

Hi I was wondering If ITST can do something to make a iPhone app of itst... I think if this happens then we will get notifications automatically when new private messages arrive..!!! And also it ll be much more convienient for us to access the website... What are your opinions???

[beltic caldy]

nice idea, any object c/cocoa coders out there?

in the meantime, i have my ITST account set up with my email address so that I receive an email when I get a personal message....and I use that same email address on my iphone....thus I get iPhone notification when new message is received....

[Ali-Iqb93]

Yes yes I ve also my itst account set up with email on my iPhone... But still I think that there should be an itst iPhone app

grab yourself a MAC, learn Object C and Cocoa, pop $100 in the post to Apple so you can be an i-developer and get your code uploaded, and away you go...!!

You are quite right. We should have it. And i would do it myself it i had the time and an iphone to test it on. Since i have neither i am asking anyone willing to help us out to contact me.

Beltic caldy told the procedure in the post above.... He seems to be experienced... Maybe he can help..!!

[beltic caldy]

lol!!!! i know some 'c', no cocoa....and have no agreement/license thingy (the $100 thingy i mentioned) to be able to upload coded apps - can anyone else shed light on that part? Do you just need that to be upload stuff to the apple app-store....or?

sorry man, i'm waaaaaaaaaaaaay too short of time to learn object c at this moment

sounds like a groovy little micro-project for a University student perhaps...Slicer...maybe send a few emails to a few Uni's, see if anyone would be interested?

A really great idea. It would be so convenient.

Hahaha beltic I m also a medical student Therefore I dnt know much about these softwares and computer technologies

[Moralspain]

don't worry guys, i'll call Steve to talk about it

I heard it cost 10's of 1000's to make an app available

[beltic caldy]

Seriously - a quick 10/15 google + notepad - grab the names/email addresses of a half dozen or more IT faculty-heads from various universities - draft an email along the lines of "Hi! We are a voluntary organisation we an existing web-presence and would love to have an iphone app developed that would offer some/similar functionality - unfortunately, we don't have any funding for this project, but thought it might make an interesting little project for some of your students!! The website can be found at www.intertopspintour.net.... etc etc - and mention what you'd mainly like the app to do/be used for - sling the email around and see what happens!!! Lecturers are always looking for good ideas for projects for students - Object C and iphone/ipad development is HOT HOT HOT right now....reckon the only problem you (the administrators) will have is a deluge of offers!!!

Let me know if I can be of any help (not with the coding...again, i don't know any object C at this moment in time)

rich

It can cost a lot, but universities tend to have at least one 'account' already set up/paid for - here you go, to get the ball rolling - Berkley IT dpt contact details!!
