After the WWDC announcements last week, there is a lot to be excited about when it comes to developing for the iPhone. One thing that can potentially help applications run smoother and faster (especially when it comes to networking on the iPhone) is threading. Threading allows developers to run two or more tasks in concurrency. Apple makes this pretty easy in Objective-C and XCode.

Last week, we talked about frameworks in relation to developing for the iPhone. With iPhone OS 3.0, Apple has updated and added many frameworks, as well as other interesting tidbits for iPhone developers. For instance, push notifications will now be included into the operating systems and will allow developers to send updates to users without their app being in the foreground. From a developer standpoint, this creates a lot more functionality for an app. Furthermore…

Hey everyone, I would like to announce the first post of a new weekly column I will be starting called iPhone Developer Intervention. This column will be mostly dedicated towards anything related to the iPhone SDK or developing for the iPhone as well as programming ideas in general. Through my experiences with the App Store, iPhone SDK, and XCode, I hope to help all of the readers to understand more what it’s like to develop for the iPhone and what Apple as well as other developers are doing to help out.
