Source Code Runs Amuck After NDA Drop

Now that Apple has relaxed some of the more noxious portions of the iPhone SDK non-disclosure agreement as we previously reported, developers, publishers, journalists, and websites are running to catch up and let information about released versions of the iPhone SDK. One website called Apps Amuck is ringing the bell hard with "31 Days of iPhone Apps. "

Apps Amuck is distributing free iPhone SDK App source code. Each of the 31 days will showcase an executable and source code for each App. The Apps are not exactly best in class and ready for the App Store, but they offer a free resource that demonstrates various aspects of SDK coding that might otherwise be unheard of. Beginning iPhone SDK developers will find the site and its resources very valuable.

The curious out there can download these Apps, compile them and run them in the Simulator. Digging around the source code and examining it closely will reveal the classes used in the code and how to apply these classes in your own Apps.

You also might find the following resources valuable for iPhone software development and source code examples.
