Svn Analytics

Hey everyone,

I'm nearing the completion of the data storage for the first version of the application.  I decided to use Core Data (available in iPhone 3.0+) to store the data locally with a sqllite3 database.  With that comes a little learning curve, it's not overly complicated, but just different and with a few wrinkles in the architecture of local data storage.  But, a database is almost always more efficient, and will mean I won't have to be opening large XML files all the time to get to small pieces of data.

Unfortunately, I've had a few life events come up that have taken me away from development for the last couple weeks, and I'm heading back to Maine for a few days to attend my grandmother's funeral.

I'll be back heads down on this within the next week.

I'll keep you all posted once the application has been submitted to the app store.  I'd like to get some people involved in testing the application so I can ensure that I've got all the little bugs out.

Anyone familiar with the best practices as recommended by Apple on getting your application out there and tested?  That might just mean that I will be asking some of you folks for some help.

Hello all, this first blog post is to inform you that SvnAnalytics for iPhone is under intense development at this time, I do expect to get this application submitted to the app store within the next couple weeks.  As you know, development of an application doesn't only include development of the application.  I guess that goes without mention but it might sound a little bizarre.  It also includes, server web hosting, SSL Certificate purchasing, database management, website development, legal stuff, etc...

I just finished up the first iteration of the blog engine for this site, and it went surprisingly smooth.  I started working.  3 days later, a few things here or there, and here it is, the first version.  Now, it is bare bones, but it will provide a place for me to facilitate communication with everyone about the status of development, the application, and give you the chance to provide me with feedback on where you'd like to see the application go.

Thanks for your patience, and I do expect to have a followup post on here informing you all of an approval from Apple's app store.
