About the Author - Robert Jen
I earned my stripes programming 68000 assembler on Fat Macs, although I hacked around a little with BASIC on an Atari 400 before that. When I got my first PDA, a PalmPilot Pro, in December 1997, I immediately decided to quit my day job to develop applications for it. A decade later, I bought an iPod touch and experienced the same magic I initially felt with Palm OS. I hope to port or write similar applications for the iPhone and iPod touch as I did for Palm, but if you have any specific requests, please let me know!
I use CodeWarrior on my Mac to write programs for the PalmPilot in C and a variety of technologies (Objective-C and Xcode for native applications; MySQL, PHP, JavaScript, and HTML for web apps) to create applications for the iPhone and iPod touch. I have written numerous freeware, shareware, and commercial applications and do contract work as well.
Please e-mail me at rjen@rjen.com if you have any questions or comments about anything related to trivia, iPhone, iPod touch, or Palm.
