Develop an application for the iPhone  Must communicate with a web service.  Must do basic database operations (insert, update), using a web service.

Why iPhone application ?  Developing an iPhone application is something new for all of our team members.  In this competitive environment of software development one has to have skills with cutting edge.  Learn a different paradigm for programming.

Three features: 1. Find the weather from the user’s current location. 2. Finds restaurants in area, sends text message to a friend in the address book, without the user typing anything. 3. Find friends in the area, and get directions to where they are.

 Xcode is the IDE for developing iPhone and iPod Touch applications. Can only develop using Xcode on Macs.  Interface Builder is a separate program that works with Xcode to build the user interface.  Objective-C is the language. It is an extension of C, and combines Object-Oriented ideas of Smalltalk.  No automatic garbage collection, so must explicitly manage memory (by allocating objects and releasing them).

 A method that you call remotely.  The remote machine has access to some resources or information that you need.  Machine-to-machine communication, use HTTP as the underlying protocol. Uses an XML-based format called SOAP.

Feature 1 : Weather Update  This feature finds the current weather, based on the user’s current location.  It uses the Core Location framework to get the user’s current latitude and longitude.  We then find the zip code from the latitude and longitude from a web page 09&long= &format=xml. It displays the page as xml, which we then parse for the zip code. 09&long= &format=xml  We use a web service which gets the weather, given the zip code.  We parse the SOAP response, and display it in a table view.

 Web service call  Find restaurants in nearby area  Invite a friend  Text message  Social events

 Find friends in nearby areas  Provide directions  Frequent travelers  Business meetings
