Simple app HELP??

[elfarez]

Hi I'm new to iPhone application development so i wanted to start with something simple. I have done a few tutorials and so am fairly familiar with Xcode and Interface Builder. Could someone please help me, I want to make a simple app that just changes to a random image from a library when the screen is touched and eventually when the iPhone is shaken. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Cheers for that.

I don't really intend on becoming a real developer its just an app for a specific purpose. Could you point me in any direction that would outline almost exactly how to do it? or do you, or anyone else for that matter know?

Cheers

I don't know of any specific tutorials, but I can tell you that the book will tell you everything you need to know. It's not very expensive, and you will learn a lot of valuable things on how to create an app properly. I still say that the book is your best bet even though you only plan to develop one simple app.

You need to look into:

1) arc4random for the random images.
2) touches methods for the touch on the screen.
3) Shake API.

Research them and try to put some code together, then if you still need help post back here and I'm sure someone will help you. But nobody is going to build your app for free, if you want that doing post in the jobs forum.
