It’s been way too long since I’ve posted anything on this site! I have a lot going on right now that I can’t wait to talk about, like starting a new job and going back to school, but that will all have to come later. Right now I want to quickly mention a new project that I’ve been working on the past few weeks – a simple iPhone application that helps you locate the nearest credit union.

I’ve already made a couple of iPhone-optimized websites but have been itching to develop a native app since I picked up my iPhone in November. Last month I decided to give it a shot and started working on the credit union locator. I’m totally new to Objective-c and Cocoa, so the learning curve has been a bit steep for me, but I’m getting there slowly but surely. Below you’ll see a screenshot of one of the views in the application. Clicking on the Search Credit Unions button will open a table view with the names, addresses, and phone numbers of the closest 5-10 credit unions. I’m still working out the details of that part of the app, but hope to have another announcement by the end of next week and plan on submitting everything to the iTunes app store some time shortly after that.
