How about trying your hand at building a mobile application? With so many free of cost resources available in the market, it is no more a nightmare if you try. The massive growth of the app market has coincided with the creation of a parallel niche industry — the proliferation of accessible, low-cost development alternatives to traditional shops and agencies.
An Instructables user, also an app developer, recently posted an article on Instructables to show how to code a basic iOS app for iPhone.
To start with, first download SDK – software development kit. In the article, Instructables user used Xcode 4, which can be downloaded from Apple Store to demonstrate in a few steps how easily an iOS app can be coded.
Another alternative to Xcode 4 is Conduit Mobile which offers an easy-to-use browser based tool for users to build an app and mobile website in just a few minutes. The service is completely free of cost and as intuitive as creating a WordPress page. It is also highly customizable. Currently Conduit supports iOS, Android, Microsoft’s Windows Phone, Blackberry, Samsung’s Bada and HTML 5. So take a glance at these tools if you are planning for your business or website to go mobile. Did you ever think it would be this easy?
