Question

So the past two clients I’ve been at, all the talk has been about creating an iPhone app, and I won’t lie, I want to make one. Or at least learn how to make them.

I’ve never owned a Mac, so I have no idea how their OS functions/works/performs, whatever. I’m a .NET Developer and build my own gaming rigs at home, but as far as Mac hardware goes I’m clueless.

I’m wondering if any iPhone devs out there can share their insight on their machines? I’m assuming it’s comparable. I’m looking at a Mac Mini, 2.0ghz duo core Intel, 2gb RAM.

This seems fine for a dev machine (it beats my awful machine at work).

Let me know guys, and thanks again in advance.

Answer 1

As long as it has an Intel processor its fine. Good Luck!

Also here is some stuff to get you started:

• CocoaDev Central
• Official Apple Tutorial (Also look at the prerequisites)
• iPhone Dev Center
