SheffCam now a native iOS app

Not updated my blog for almost a year so I thought I may as well let people know that SheffCam has migrated from a web app to a native iOS app and is available from the app store (since march actually… yes I’m a little slow at updating the blog).

I took the decision to use NimbleKit as the development platform (its an Xcode template so you still need a Mac and an iPhone Developer license) for creating the app as it allowed me to leverage my existing web based skills to produce a fully native and app store friendly app. I urge anyone who is thinking of developing an app for the Apple app store but are put off by learning Objective C to give NimbleKit a try.

SheffCam Released

I’m pleased to announce the availability of a new iPhone/iPod touch WebApp for the Sheffield area.

Produced in conjunction with Sheffield City Council, SheffCam gives you access to the 30+ traffic cameras in around around the Sheffield area all within an easy to use interface.

Please visit sheffcam.com on your iPhone/iPod touch to start (as a bonus you can also FULLY access it on the desktop using Safari for Mac or PC, even better you can make it into a dashboard widget on a Mac using the web-clip feature from within Safari).

I plan on making a native version for the Apple app store in the future with lots more features so if you have any feature requests please let me know.

Thanks to all those who beta tested the WebApp…Enjoy.
