Agile practices for iPhone development


Tuesday, 15 June 2010


Since Apple® released the iPhone® SDK in 2008 we have seen an explosion of third party applications, with over 150,000 apps available and more than 4 billion downloads. The market for paid apps is estimated to be more than $250 million per year.

ThoughtWorks has had significant participation in development on this platform using Agile development methods. This experience, coupled with increased interest from our enterprise clients in developing mobile versions of their internal applications, has led us to explore the tooling available to build world-class software according to rigorous standards.
