This morning, after talking about developing my own iPhone app during the Geek Force FiveCast, I was pleased to find this Mashable article on building better iPhone apps waiting for me in my Google Reader.

My favorite bit of advice, and I think this applies to far more things than just iPhone app development, was this: “Step 5: Test first, test again, test some more. Also: test.”
