First post! Who are we and what do we do?

Over the last few months, a class at Wake Forest University has been working on programming the iPhone as part of a course on Software Engineering with Dr. Paul Pauca. One group, Tommy Guy (that's me!), Edison Munoz, and Harry Pham created an app called VerbalVictor to enable speech impaired children to communicate. There will be a lot more about that in the posts to come. Another student, Brad McDanel, worked on an app for campus tours at Wake Forest. Over the summer, Dr. Pauca, Tommy, Edison, and Brad will be publishing VerbalVictor and creating a second app in the same vein for the iPad.

We plan to use this blog to talk about the process of developing and deploying an application. Why another blog on the iPhone and deployment? Two reasons. First, we want to have another source of helpful hints on getting into iPhone programming, especially for students. Second, we will be working on paid apps within a setting where we don't own our intellectual property. Like most schools, we will have to work with Wake Forest to protect, publish, and monetize our work. We plan to document that process.
