I need advice on a new project so I can design it correctly from the start. Here is a quick overview.
BACKGROUND: I have some Objective - C and C under my belt. I just finished my second week in a city college class for JAVA. But starting out on the iPhone as of last week but it is using Object - C
OVERVIEW: I have a looping TV show that runs in local hotels on a channel, and here http://www.syvtraveler.com Tourists will watch the show in hotels and download the app. The app will contain different sections and buttons for the business in those sections (food,shopping,fun and wine). When the user clicks on a button more detailed information like photos, a call button and stuff come up. Plus hotel information where they are staying.
PROBLEM: Business join the show and come off the show every month so I don't want to generate a new update app every month. Most everything will be in a URL location on my site for example 'business_name.txt'. It will retrieve this file and create a button for each name on the list. So if a clients contract is up and they leave the show I can remove them by just removing the name from the 'business_name.txt' list.
JAVA APPLET: If a restaurant has a special that night. They can log into the website via JAVA applet, upload new photos and pricing to their account. Then a push notification to the iPhone letting users know of the special. This way clients manage their own content.
Also in the morning when the app is launched it adds or removes business and loads new photos of food. I don't know how much I should load to the phone daily or link to the site?
This is a quick idea of the project that I need to finish mid March next year before the summer rush. So I want to spend most of my time in design instead of trial and error.
Any insights would be great on how to approach this project layout.
Thanks,
