Getting Started with Developing MyCampus
As a developer starting on this project, you might be a little lost. This page will help you get started working on MyCampus.
Here's how:
- Read the MyCampus summary page. This will give you an overview of what MyCampus is, and the primary uses of the application.
- Read the Plugins page in order to get an idea about what features (encapsulated in plugins) MyCampus has, and some of the overarching goals of each plugin.
- Read the iPhone Application Architecture PDF. This will give you an overview of the code and how to use the core classes.
- Check-out the source code and build it. Instructions on how to do this can be found here.
- Write a test plugin, you won't commit this back to the repository, but it's a good way to get familiar with the application. Using the iPhone Application Architecture PDF listed above, create a plugin that displays the name of the campus found in the Campus.plist file (hint: you'll want to use the MCCampus class). Also, display the logo of the campus (again, using the MCCampus class). And finally, add some sort of web interaction that downloads some content from the web (using the data providers described in the iPhone Application Architecture document).
