HELP! (Just kidding! That should read HELLO!)

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!

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!
