iOS App for Blandford Nature Center

[Jay Wahr]

Hello all,

I went to my first meeting yesterday and Lane I believe is the guy that brought up an idea to start a project, non-profit. Someone mentioned Blandford Nature Center has an android app and could use an iOS app, which was started but never finished. I would be interested in getting in on this. But I don't have any mobile development experience. I've only played around with Xaramin a bit because I know C#.

If anyone is interested, maybe lets try to get details and see what needs to be done to get this off the ground? And if anyone has contact with Lane, that would be great too.

Then maybe during one of our meetings we can show off the new app :)

If you know any language in the C family, Objective-C won't be too hard.  Just remember Objective C likes to use [ ] a lot, but may or may not support . notation depending on what objects you use.  It's flexible and can go either most of the time.

before we do iOS, we need to figure out if Blandford has a Provisional Profile or will we use someone else's.  If anyone has time we can meet up and just code  together.  Those who are new can watch and learn or jump in or we can decide who can do what parts.

I am knowledgable but not very experienced in back-end stuff.  

I spoke to my buddy from Atomic, Mike, He's out for a month so can't do anything until April.  He was impressed I thought of him highly (Normally I'm plotting his demise in Dungeons and Dragons).

If you choose to help Blandford that would be cool. I have most of their branding guidelines in dropbox. I can tell you that they definitely do not have a provisional profile.

The current android app was made with Appcelerator. Its pretty simple and mostly aggregates their Twitter feed and events RSS. The app also allows you to scan barcodes which instruct it to pull in json content from a mobile site/api.

Let me know if you want to get together and kick something off. I don't have a mac anymore but I'd be happy to help remake the current Android version natively in parallel with iOS development.

Of course the mobile website could also use a better theme if there was any interest in learning/applying some modern techniques there.

Regards,

Shane

You may be able to kill two bids with one stone, and use C#/Xamarin to do both Android and iOS at the same time.
