The history of Jingle
In 2009 I started to take notice of iPhone OS as a legitimate development platform when Apple announced they had 50,000 apps in their app store. Like many developers I’ve spent most of my career immersed in Microsoft .NET related technologies so I spent many months learning an entirely new set of tools, processes and a new programming language.
I was fortunate that I had the basic concept for Jingle before I became proficient in Objective-C. Looking back this allowed me to focus on the design aspects of the application before getting caught up in code. While I would certainly consider Objective-C to be a more of a low-level language than C# both platforms and languages have their pros and cons. I will be adding future pages that outline some the technical aspects of Jingle. If you have specific topics you would like to see covered just shoot me an email at jingle at arbutusinc dot com.
