My Topic is the Development of the Mac, iPhone and iPod Touch. Both the iPhone and iPod Touch are programmed the same way, using a language called cocoa. To write in cocoa, you need the iPhone SDK (Software Development Kit. The Mac is written in a similar way. In the next version of Mac OS X, 10.6 or Snow Leopard, the Finder will be written in Cocoa.
To develop my topic, I have used many sites like Macrumors and WikiHow. On Macrumors, I am commenting on the most current posts everyday. On WikiHow, I have edited many articles and written one or two. Both of these sites have helped me gather research about my topic.
I am hoping in the future to learn to write in Cocoa and possibly Java. One of my friends and I have currently been teaching ourselves how to write in Ruby (for both Mac and Windows) using an online tutorial. I think that this is one of the easiest languages to learn for a developer.
My work with this has been successful so far. I am hoping to do a lot with this in the future (possibly take a programming class at Lovett in the future years).
This are links to my two surveys:
Survey for all People
Survey for iPhone and iPod Touch Developers
The process of creating the surveys and reviewing the results is very easy. To create a survey, you have the option of making multiple choice questions, yes-no questions, short answer questions, and ratings. To view a survey, you can view by respondent or view in graphs, that show the percentage of people who responded one way or the other.
I did get the results that I hoped for. I was hoping to get feedback from developers and from people that have either a Mac, iPhone or iPod Touch. Most people had one of these above and most people though that they are easier to use than computers running Windows and other smartphones.
If I could change the survey, I would add more that has to do with programming overall instead of only focussing on the iPhone and iPod Touch programming. I have decided to make another survey that is about the topic of programming of computers and iPhones.
Current survey Results:
Mac, iPhone, and iPod Touch Survey for All People 57
Mac, iPhone, and iPod Touch Survey for Developers 1
Programming 5
