Progress!

iPhone Simulator
This man is excited. The screenshot above is not perfect, it’s not complete, it’s not ready—but its not a mockup, hence the exuberance.

Until a few weeks ago the actual Grades code base was a patchwork quilt of sample code and tutorials coerced into doing my will. I trashed it.

A bunch of things clicked a few weeks ago and I decided to start from scratch. It was a good idea. Today, a few weeks later, I have a lean, mean, Grade machine—the core functionality is already built. The best part: the days of constantly referring to sample code and tutorials are over—I finally understand, albeit to a limited degree, how it all works together. Its thrilling.

I was hoping to finish the beta before finals. At the rate I’m going, I may have the whole deal ready by then. No promises.

I already have some fellow UNCC students who will be helping me test out the beta but if you want to get in on the action, post a comment on this post.

    Love to help out, I have wanting to design something myself so I have a apple cert if that helps.. Just will have to pull my finger out and do something.

    I would like to test your app, too. I am from Germany and could also help with translations if you like.

    If you still looking for testers, I would be willing to help you. I work in Charlotte, live in Fort Mill, SC. I'm a Java programmer by day, and an aspiring iPhone / Cocoa dev by night :)
