Introduction

Hey!
As a summer project and a bit of a challenge for myself, I decided that I wanted to learn how to program an app to be sold in the Apple App Store. It will initially be available on the iPhone/iPod but hopefully will update to include iPad. But I didn't want to start with something that would be very complicated to program, so I came up with the idea for an interactive children's book.
So I settled on the idea of creating an alphabet book. And I began to create the pictures on my computer, attempting to create fun and creative visuals for the pages. However, my lack of skill in drawing began to frustrate me. But my sister solved this issue for me. She suggested that I make the pictures out of clay because I have worked with plasticine before. I was hesitant because I knew that this would be a very long and tedious process. But I'm very happy that I went with her idea, because I'm really happy with how the pictures look so far!
As I began working on the pictures, I also began playing around with xcode, trying to learn what I needed in order to make this happen.
