IPhone Dev Center

When Apple released the iPhone SDK in early 2008 they made it available to potential iPhone Developers through the iPhone Dev Center website. From the website, developers who have registered with Apple and have log-in credentials, can download the latest versions of XCode and the iPhone SDK for various versions of the Mac operating system. There are also getting started videos, getting started documents, coding how-to's, and sample code. From the site developers can also access documentation on all the frameworks and API's available to them through the SDK. Their are various programming guides available for specific frameworks and developers can also access the Apple Developer Forums.

In 2009 Apple added a 'News & Announcements' section which provides information to developers and informs them of app approval times.

There are many vocabularies already developed. Many are products of work from vertical industries such as manufacturing, health care finance and communications where data was commonly exchanged across organizational boundaries, usually by Electronic Data Interchange(EDI). Vocabularies facilitate the linking of data across knowledge domains and around the web. Proper selection and development of these vocabularies is critical the success of publishing your data for public consumption. The development of classification systems traditionally falls into the domain of library sciences. A move towards the Semantic Web will drive the inclusion of new professionals into information technology organizations.

3D

Scanning an object in 3 Dimensions can be done using several technologies:

• touch - using a mechanical scanner to feel its way around an object
• stereo imaging - using two or more cameras to recover depth information
• laser stereoscopy - projecting a line onto an object to recover depth
• laser range finding or LIDAR - measuring time of flight

All of these will produce, as an end result, a model representing the surface of the scanned model.

There is a free version of a software package for doing laser stereoscopy called Davidhttp://www.david-laserscanner.com/. It uses a simple laser pointer for the light source. It is easy to make and do yourself.
