This just in! A group is coming together to discuss developing applications for the Apple iPad as well as other Apple mobile devices.

The Greenville iPhone Application Developers Group is about getting traditional web developers, mobile application developers and “wannabes” iPhone developers together in a collaborative environment to:

• share, discuss and learn application development techniques & tricks – new and old,
• encourage and help solve development problems & challenges,
• discuss future developments and opportunities coming to the Apple’s mobile platforms, and
• discuss possible application ideas & concepts, while network with like-minded people.

First on our to-do list is to establish an active mobile app developer’s community right here in the up-state of South Carolina. We’ll target both web-apps and native platform apps development. In addition to technical issues such as programming in Obj-C/Cocoa or CSS/Javascript frameworks and Apple’s device interface SDKs, informative discussions will include marketing issues, SEO challenges and other related entrepreneurial opportunities.

Although open to all mobile platform developers including Android, BlackBerry, Symbian, Windows Mobile, etc., our primary focus will be on development for Apple’s iPhone, iPod mobile and iPad, platforms.

Interested? Tired of going-it-alone? Perhaps you need some help getting started. Whatever! Come to our next meeting and see if there’s a fit – maybe we can help you; or better yet, maybe you can help Greenville’s iPhone Application Developers Group.

The group will have it’s first meeting on Tuesday, August 17, 2010 at 6 PM at Immedion.
