Just saying "Hi" and "happy holidays" - not that I'm going to get any time off over the holidays because BuzzTouch has made the introduction to app creation so straightforward I've become addicted. My day job is writer (books, TV scripts) but I started creating websites in the dark ages before there was software or templates to make it easy, so I had to learn html and create each site from a blank page. I keep about a dozen of them ticking over. They're mainly information sites for myself and other writers/artists. I'm exploring apps now because it seems the logical accompaniment to a website to have an app that looks good on the iPhone, and incorporates some neat extra stuff like maps with locations that are featured in the books or audio and video files. So I'm not doing anything very ingenious, in terms of apps, I'm afraid. But I'm really excited that BuzzTouch has made it all so amazingly accessible and seems to have put the creation of an app within my reach! What looks less accessible is the Apple Developers stuff... I may be coming screaming "Help!" for real when I get a bit further down the line!

Happy Holidays indeed! Love hearing stories like yours, adds something to the already diverse community. Folk building apps for kids, astronomers, school projects and so on and I believe you may be the first writer I have seen posting with idea to build apps to compliment your writing. When the time does come to shout 'help' don't worry, we've all been there and there is always someone around to help. You've already got a wee star, sweet! Loads of great docs in the how-to section from BT ninjas like @GoNorthWest so you'll not be short of BT prose to while away the silly season. There's also an active and good bunch of the fairer sex on here, far from a community or nerdy chaps, folk from all walks of life. Anyway, off to fill the coffee and walk the dog, have a great day/week/BuzzTouch adventure and once again welcome to BT!

Welcome @jhally, Sounds like you have a creative mind so I cannot wait to see you Apps. I echo what @MacApple said on everything especially on @GoNorthWest docs. LA

Man, every time I look at the forums I see a bright new face! Absolutely Delighted. Happy holidays to you too, cannot wait to see what you come up with!

Hi @jhally, Welcome to buzztouch! Tons and tons of people ready and willing to help whenever you need it! Just give a shout, and we'll come running! Merry Christmas! Mark

Thanks for the warm welcome, guys. Another step forward last night, I got all my certificates for my iPod and got my wee app running on it instead of on the simulator. All my 52 screens appear when they should. I'm just amazed at how BT has enabled me to get this far!

Rock on, @jhally! You've discovered the true power of buzztouch! Mark

Very nice @jhally! LA

awesome @jhally!

JHally, Welcome! Your creative side will love it here. As a writer you will able to visually see your stories appear before you. Glad to see another lady on board! Wishing you a happy holiday season yourself and just remember you never alone on your journey! Both the ladies and gents here are fabulous and are here to help! Sheri
