This week ENN very kindly published an article by yours truly.

Thoughout my experience with App School I have consistently found that the iPhone SDK’s difficulty is underestimated by developers. This has ranged from comments such as hearing that the iPhone SDK is “one of the easiest” to people seriously studying it, reading two to four books and still finding themselves struggling.

There are definitely a lot of interesting concepts that don’t appear very often outside of Objective-C or its close relations such as Smalltalk, and these are quite difficult to assimilate.

In the article, I address one or two of these concepts and give a few reasons for sticking with the iPhone in spite of these hurdles.
