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.
This is the support site for this app. http://www.eknathkadam.com/festivals/
