More iPhone Source Code Appearing

Tuesday November 11, 2008
I've added two more links to the iPhone code library. The first is an ingenious Objective-C Class explorer that lets you view the various libraries on your iPhone. The second is the WordPress app which lets you access WordPress.com or your own hosted website (running WordPress downloaded from WordPress.org). You need to access the code for that by using the Subversion client.

I've been asked whether you can write iPhone code in standard C or C++. The answer is yes and no. Yes you can compile either language and call that code from Objective-C but to call the iPhones built-in functions requires Objective-C code. So you could port an existing application by adding a wrapper layer. Not easy but definitely easier than a complete rewrite.
