Hi Guys. My sighted husband is also thinking about learning to be a developer of iPhone and/or iPad devices. He does not have a Mac. I can't let him use mine because I need mine all the time for my business. He went to iTunes U and downloaded one of the lessons to his iPhone. The professor on there said that he would need a Mac in order to send in his final program (I think I have this straight.) If blind folks can put their program onto the iPhone because the Mac versions are not accessible, how can he do this directly on the iPhone and send in his program for them to evaluate it? I hope this question makes sense.
