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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book on the iPhone development so far, 10 Dec 2008
By Alexander Kolesnikov (Glasgow, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've got all the books on the iPhone development that were published so far, and this one is definitely the best. The authors' style is unique, I am tempted to say that style-wise this might be the most enjoyable book on software development I've read in my life.

The book presents a lot of material, it is definitely sufficient to start developing for the platform for a complete novice to iPhone or Mac development like myself. What is cool is that the book feeds its knowledge with exactly the right pace. Well, sometimes that feels a bit slow, but you do feel confident all the way along, and the authors encourage you to go faster if you wish.

Regarding the language: I am new to the Objective-C, still remember a few bits and pieces from C and I work professionally with Java and C#. I want to say that I had absolutely no difficulties with understanding this book, but recently I've read a few chapters in various books on Mac programming, so I had an idea of the Objective-C syntax.

I was so impressed with this book that ordered another two of this 'citrus' series that are coming soon, on learning C and Objective-C on the Mac.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best so far!, 11 Dec 2008
By Mr. Wayne Pascoe (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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 :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Writing Style and Very Informative, 7 Dec 2008
By Mr. S. G. Wolf (Somerset, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.
