Hii People, i m new to iphone development and started my career after campus out and started learning on my own its around 2 weeks now i m pretty inspired with iphone dev but i m not clear with
*does apple will retain its biz on iphone/ipad develp-on a long term basis?
*what are the key points that make iphone to stand for years?
*what are the other verticals a developer can move with iphone skills?
Thank u to all.
Apple does a lot of profit with iOS devices, even more now than they do with Macs. And their profit is rising every quarter, steadily for the past years. That should answer questions 1 and 2 :-)
Regarding question 3: an experiences iOS developer will find it relatively easy to move into Mac development. Cocoa Touch is more or less a stripped-down version of the full-blown Cocoa, and almost all technologies found in iOS can be found on the Mac, sometimes slightly different (UI* classes vs. NS* UI classes). That too is a good market.
If you are good in iPhone programming, you are able to develop for any other mobile platform as well.
