27 Your First iOS Application

In this chapter, you are going to create iTahDoodle, an iOS application for iPhone. iTahDoodle will allow users to create to-do lists. Like VocalTextEdit, iTahDoodle is a relatively simple app, and building it will give you only a taste of what iOS development is all about.

When you are done, iTahDoodle will look like Figure 27.1.

Users can add an item to the to-do list by typing in the text field at the top and tapping Insert. You will persist the to-do list so that users will not lose their list if they close the application.
