I always wanted to try my hand at writing an iPhone application. Suppose, for a start, it was simple, like “Hello world!”, But it was written with your own hands. Moreover, the iPhone OS platform has become very popular, and most developers prefer it. But as they say - my desires do not coincide with my capabilities. The SDK is available only for poppies, and I don’t have the opportunity to buy poppy - dear. But on the Internet, by chance, I found out about one service about which I will discuss further.
')
The service is called AppMark. Convenient and easy to use (though in English), which allows you to write a small application directly from the browser.
How to work?
To create a mini-application, go to the
main site - everything will happen here.
Let's create an application that allows you to read the latest news from the Habrahabr site.
1) Enter the website address in the input line. Click Go.
2) The system will carry out preliminary settings.
3) In principle, everything! An iPhone will appear on the side in which you can test the program. Just click on the icon!
Here is how the application starts:The window with the latest news:View specific news:Want more? You can register on the site (for free), and completely change the interface: add a logo when downloading, the icon. You can also make several tapes and add them to the bottom panel as icons (which you can also choose). If you want to advertise something in the application - you can add advertising.
What are the advantages?
- You can create an application without a poppy and SDK developer. Came, fashioned - ready.
There are downsides?
- Yes. If you want to publish it in the App Store. then you need to buy a license that costs a lot - $ 199. Given that the license for the SDK costs $ 99, this is a big difference. But those who already have a license for the SDK can specify it in the settings.
Update: transferred to the collective blogI also learned that there are more interesting services.
Comboapp and
Dragonfiresdk . The first tried - not bad
