iPhone Development - Interface Builder

Wednesday, May 20, 2009

Last week the iTeam was back in action.  One iTeam member, code name George, created the project and setup our screens in Interface Builder(IB).  IB is one of the tools included in xCode. IB lets you lay out your screens, navigation and digital assets.  When complete, you can then run the app in an iPhone emulator.  IB is very useful when writing business applications, because when done, you just generate the stubs, and then plug in your business logic / navigation.  Hopefully the rest of the application will be as straight forward as IB.

Next week: Preferences…
