Àgora: My first iPhone App

In my first paper I will explain my first iPhone application which I develop alone, the first application which I send to the AppStore with my brand, Biapum.
This application was developed for my friend Victor, the Bar Àgora owner's. This bar is in my hometown and is where I go so often.
The bar needs something to promote it. We decide to do something different, something that could surprise. Nowadays, it's essential to have a website and be at the social networks as Twitter or Facebook, but what else can you do to be more visible? We decide to do an iPhone application for the Bar.

So, we do it! I developed an application where you can see some photos of the Bar, you can know where is the Bar and where are you, consult the cocktails menu, and other things.
Therefore, I decided to implement a tabBarController with five tabs.
The first tab with an initial photo, show the entrence of the Bar and his website URL.

The second tab, I implemented a TableView where you can see some cocktails which you can have in the Bar, and know what ingredients are formed and see each photo of it.
The thirst tab is where you can see a Map. It was done to help the user to know where is exactly the Bar or know how to arrive in there. You can because the map shows the user current location and the Bar position.
The fourth tab, is a photo gallery. I implemented a pageControl which allows the user consult photos using the typical iPhone photo Scroll, dragging his finger from left to right, or reverse, above the screen.
Finally, the fifth tab is a surprise that we decide to put it to give a present to everybody who had downloaded the application in his iPhone.

So.. let's get my first iPhone application, which had been done in October 2010, it's FREE!
