I do have plans for such a tutorial. Maybe after I finish the SQLite series…

first of all, thank you brandon for your valuable tutorials.
i don't know what was meant by web services but i would love to see a tutorial on using an online database to apps on various iphones. for example too see which user is online.
thanks.

david,
Websites can offer what are called “web services”. This is essentially a protocall for interfacing with their data. There are 2 major ways to do this. One is to use JSON (most scripting languages have this built right it) and the other is to use XML RPC (remote procedure call) again built in.
So, if a site implements these, then anyone who adheres to the protocall can access data from that site via the web service. Sites such as twitter support this. And a tutorial covering web services is the solution you are looking for.
I will do one simple video tutorial by early next week to “get warmed up” and then I will do a web service tutorial. So be expecting one in the very near future…

thanks for your reply brandon. forgive me if i don't know what i'm talking about, but assuming i don't need any actual web content but just an online database to sync data between apps running on different iphones, isn't it possible to just set up a remote database on a server (like mysql)?
in any case i'm looking forward to your tutorial.
thanks a lot for doing this.
david
