Apple iPhone SDK - The Hype

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

Just watched the iPhone SDK event. Looks really nice, but the parts where Scott Forstall (VP iPhone) talked about the development experience cranked me silly. Here are some quotes:

We started with Xcode, and then we enhanced it to support the iphone. […] the great thing is that Xcode knows all about the iPhone SDK […] so when you are writing applications, it will code complete to the APIs in the SDK.

Oh my God!. Apple, I am humbled by your radical and amazing approach to IDEs.

Project Management [..] it deals with all your files for you. Your source file, header files, … . It also integrates with your source control management system. So be it subversion, perforce, CVS, it integrates directly […]. You can check files in and out, you can merge files, … .

Mmm, how I wish I had this features in my crappy development environment. Apple sure as hell push the limit.

And there are so many more wonderful tidbits like this. “It integrates with the iPhone documentation”, “has a debugger”. The debugger part is amazing, the way it is presented (hard to put in into words) goes like this: It has a debugger. But [wait for it] it has a great remote debugger. Amazing. The limits that Apple are pushing the development experience.

Apple are doing amazing things. But come on, are you joking?
