Today my first iPhone application was accepted into the iTunes AppStore. It’s called Wine Notes and it’s an application for wine drinkers to organize and review wines that you've tasted.

I am in particular need of this app, because remembering wine is usually sheer guesswork for me. Partly because the labels tend to blend together and partly because I’m usually a little buzzed when I start getting into it.

From a development standpoint, I’ve been really into coding for the iPhone (if not XCode). I think Apple has done a great job creating comprehensive and consistent documentation for developers. UIKit almost acts as a sandbox into Cocoa development, which I’m guessing can be a little overwhelming to n00bs like me. I’m also greatly indebted to Stackoverflow.com because they seem to have answers for most of the Objective-C hurtles that I’ve run into so far.

Hopefully this will be the first of many apps that make it into the AppStore. Robert and I are already hard at work on a new (and completely unrelated) project. If you’re looking for an iPhone developer, or feel like collaborating, give me a holler! bill@wdlindmeier.com
