>>See, old dogs can learn new tricks ( but an old dog getting paid his top rate to learn it would, of course, learn faster <s> )
LOL. my advice is Festina Lente, make haste slowly. There are great tools just around the corner that we'll all be able to use to bang out recipe apps in an hour and maybe a little longer to add the smarts for which a couple of million people will be willing to shell out $1.99. The window of opportunity will open and close quickly as your ideas are copied and commoditized, but it only takes a few days to make your fortune in this new development world. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
