Hello,<br />
<br />
I need to develop an Ipad database application. I am looking for development options (languages / frameworks / tools). I have found information about XCode, but I wander if this is the only option.<br />
<br />
Following are the details of my use case:<br />
<br />
- I need to interact with a MySql database in the local network<br />
- I need control over the UI design being able to define size and position of the controls<br />
- I need one of the following: either invoke a Java API (provided in a jar file) or invoke web services (SOAP or REST)<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
<br />

Ipad Application Developer Options

iOS is a mobile operating system developed by Apple; it is a derivative of the Mac OS X desktop operating system, with which it shares many (but not all) common frameworks and other components. These include Cocoa Touch, the Mach/Darwin/XNU kernel and code from the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD). Each iOS application runs in its own secure sandbox to prevent altering other applications, the operating system, or any other data.

iPad is an iOS-based line of tablet computers built around the device's multi-touch screen, including a virtual keyboard. The iPad includes built-in Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity on select models. An iPad can shoot video, take photos, play music, and perform Internet functions such as web-browsing and emailing. Other functions – games, reference, GPS navigation, social networking, etc. – can be enabled by downloading and installing apps.
