Progress
I am making good progress. I got the UI mostly done for the browser part. It works how I want it to and is the browser I want for the iphone. Full screen mode. Easy access to the toolbar if you need it. A nice way to access the back button for browsing sites in full screen mode. I figured out how to make a button that can swap itself. I didn’t want a separate button for stop and...

Newbie Mistake
Well learned something new. I was having some trouble linking one of my outlets. Newbie mistake. I had it set as UIImage, well that’s wrong, it should have been UIImageView then it would let me connect it correctly. Helps to name things correctly:-)
Show, hide and animate a view
Well tonight I figured out how to show and hide a view, animate it and control it with a button. Also I figured out how to hook it all up without really needing to refer to a tutorial or book which is nice I am finally getting the hang of things at least a little. I have been sick with a cold, so not too much else to report. I had a very old logo redone for my new iPhone company and also came...
A little progress
Well today I made some real progress and I was able to debug one thing with some actual comprehension of what was going on. The problem I was having is an activity indicator was not working. I first realized that I had forgot to hook it to anything in IB. Still nothing. Then I thought about it and finally realized I had it hooked to the files owner controller. I then realized that the files...
1 step forward 2 steps back...
Well I started today trying to figure out what I needed to do by looking into some of the methods I would need to implement. Unfortunately it seems having a progress meter in a web view is not possible without making private calls. So basically safari can do it, but I can’t. So I reworked how I wanted my UI to be and think it will still work, it is just really surprising when you see...

Multiple Swipes detection on the iPhone
Well I have spent the last day or two working on detecting multiple swipes. Today I made some progress. First I was able to alter some swipe detection code from “Beginning iPhone Development” apress book to also detect left right up and down in addition to number of fingers and horizontal or vertical. I saw some info about up, down, left, right in the iphone developers cookbook.
I...
Learning to develop for the iPhone
Well today I decide to keep a blog of the little things I learn when trying to develop for the iPhone. I have been taking some classes and need to figure out a real project to really spur my understanding of the concepts. I just seem to learn things best by diving in and just making something. So I decided last week an app I wanted to make and have begun trying to work through code and examples...
