I released a new iPhone app recently: it’s called Cafe Clock and it helps you track your cooking on Zynga’s facebook game “Cafe World” . The app is doing fairly well which is good of course, and despite the fact that it isn’t going to earn me a TED talk or anything, I’m kind of proud of it. I initially submitted it to the iTunes store about a month ago, but found some major bugs and decided that I had to reprogram how I was storing information, especially since the Cafe World cookbook updates so frequently.
There is a ridiculous amount of technology under the hood of this thing. What started with a simple NSUserPreferences data storage system evolved into having a full SQLite database with reading and writing capabilities, as well as grabbing XML off the web to update. Thankfully, like with every project, I learned some new tech which I will surely apply to other, more exciting projects. After I do a FarmVille app, of course. And FarmTown. And FishVille. And PetVille.
I hate money. :(
Anyway, check it out at this other tumblr.
