Driving Test didnt take much time to develope. I used almost same code base I developed for JQuiz.
Of course a lot time was spent in deciding UI, logo and colors etc. Great thanks to Makrand who helped me in preparing the question bank.

While JQuiz was for very limited audience, Driving Test is mainly for Americans, who are planning to appear for their license test. I was also planning for my license test, and this is how the idea of Driving Test was born. JQuiz’s code base was ready. While Makrand helped me preparing question bank, UI was far simpler than JQuiz, hence you can see it more appealing and beautiful.

JQuiz, my second app for iPhone is now on app store. It was another month of excitement, frustration and a steep learning curve of Objective-C, Cocoa Touch framework. I went through all this and here is the result. JQuiz: I call it Objective C’s tribute to Java.

It took a lot of excitement, a lot of frustration and a lot of hard work to write an app for iPhone and bring it to app store. Its available free starting today and here is the itunes link where you can download it and install it on your iPhone or iPod touch.

Lerarning Objective-C wasn’t that hard. Conceptually I learned it quickly but when it came to coding, my Java syntax habits were difficult to break. It took a lil time to get handy with cocoa-touch framework, but I am still struggling with memory management and pointers. Its a tough lesson to learn since Java uses garbage collection and its developer hardly thinks about releasing memory.

This is my first app for iPhone. It shows list of all festivals celebrated in the world which are sorted by major world religions. When you drill down to a religion, you get list of all festivals and when you drill down further, you get details about the festival, including legends connected with the particular festival, way of celebration, rituals etc. It also shows dates for the festival in year 2008 and 2009. Overall it has very limited usage but its fun app to play with.
