8 hours iPhone Development and my head spins. This is quite a long time since that happened to me the last time. I knew that it wouldn't be easy to delve into a new language (Object-C), framework (Cocoa) and a new development environment (XCode) but it was harder than I expected. This is not the first development framework of its kind that I use (PowerBuilder, Oracle Forms) but it takes some time to get use to know which buttons to turn in order to get the desired results.
That said it is exhilarating to feel challenged again on a higher level that fiddling around in the low level Hibernate or Spring swamp. Still it will take some time and I will be stumped quite often in the next few weeks. Eventually I hope I am ready for iPhone 3.0 when it finally comes out.
