Product Description
Review
People ask me again and again about how to get started in iPhone development, but I never had a very good answer for them until now. Dave and Jeff's book starts at the beginning in clear English, making sure you understand the fundamentals with many large illustrations. From there, they progress into key concepts such as the MVC pattern and ImageBuilder fundamentals. Additionally, I find myself flipping back to it as a reference guide--the plethora of code samples make it a must-have. --Steve Demeter, Creator of "Trism" and owner of Demiforce LLC
Review
Beginning iPhone Development delivers a clear picture of the entire development process from registering as an iPhone developer through creation of complete applications. There is a wealth of examples illustrating each feature of the iPhone. The authors did an excellent job of demonstrating "best practice" coding methodology throughout the book. You would be hard pressed to find a better guide to creating software for the iPhone.

Dave and Jeff have a very relaxed writing style (perhaps even more so that Aaron Hillegass) and the book reads as if they are actually talking you through the process. The result is something which is very readable and easy to follow and the concepts behind the code are clearly and well explained.
The only thing I feel worth warning people about is that if you have no prior experience of Objective-C or Cocoa then you may be a bit lost and so I'd recommend at least a good introductory book. I believe that Apress have some coming out soon so they may be worth a look.

After being thoroughly disappointed with Erica Sadun's contribution to the iPhone development book scene I stumbled on this gem.
The writing style is fantastic, and the way it is put together works very well for teaching - at each stage you learn things and they seem to stick. The way it progresses and builds on the knowledge you have works very well, and I really enjoyed all the tips and tricks the dropped in for Xcode and Interface builder - I've been using these tools for traditional OS X development for a few years now and still learned a lot.
About the only thing I could ask for from this book is 'more' - just keep going instead of ending :)

I've not programmed before - made a few Access programs and dabbled a little with SQL so pretty much a complete Novice. This book is not only a great guide to programming for the phone - the tutorials are fun and really give you a sense of achievement once completed correctly. The SDK looked totally mindboggling before I started this book course - now I am confidently jumping into the files, adding code and planning my first application!

Good for beginners
The description fails to point out that a basic understanding of Objective C is assumed from the start of this book. If you can adapt to new languages well, then it's great. Read more
