Yes you read the title correctly; with Apple iPhone SDK anyone can now code a web application for the iPhone. How you may well ask? Well Apple’s iPhone SDK includes a new version of Dashcode which makes easy of web-app development for the iPhone.

You can start off using the default browsing screen template, (and the interface includes preset styles we associate with the iPhone) or simple code your own. Those new to iPhone development will be pleased to hear that it is possible for them to take the slider plate and add on gauges, indications, form elements, forward/back buttons and much more, all with a little knowledge of code.

One drawback I can possibly see is with the new Dashcode just maybe the web will suddenly be inundated with an abundance of new iPhone web-apps. More than likely most will not be that good, but then again maybe some amateur developer may develop a really cool web-app, who knows? So if you are a budding web-app developer, or even if not, go and download the iPhone SDK and have a play at web-app development, you may just be very good at it.
