A very nice book,

This review is from: Professional iPhone and iPad Database Application Programming (Wrox Professional Guides) (Paperback)
I found this to be a very nice book, it doesn't bore you to tears going over the basics like how to start your computer, install Xcode, use the interface.... blah blah etc that so many others do, and although it's described as a book about Database Applications, the content applies to most kinds of applications. Very well written, an essential addition to your library.
5.0 out of 5 stars

Very well written, just the right amount of info needed to get past some of those hurdles when creating apps that require a database to run. Certainly one for your collection.

EXACTLY what I needed!,
By Mike McG "mmcginty@tampabiz.com" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Professional iPhone and iPad Database Application Programming (Wrox Professional Guides) (Kindle Edition)
I'm a 20 year veteran of Microsoft programming with a good grasp of OOP. I recently started learning iOS development, and after a brief intro to Objective-C I was ready to dive in to some business app coding. Unfortunately, the books I had purchased so far (though very good) didn't give me what I really needed, a real here's-how-you-do-it book on data-enabled apps.With only a couple reviews of this book available, I was a little hesitant, but the specific nature of the title piqued my interest so I pulled the trigger, and am really glad I did. Right out of the gate, you're building a basic catalog application. This is how I like to learn - by example. At every step, Mr. Alessi explains what you're doing and why, and in the course of building the first sample app, I gained a greater understanding of MVC than I had after several other texts. By Chapter 3, you will have a solid foundation for building SQLite-based data-centric apps. Further into the book, you will be able to dress up your screens, and interact with the user and data however you want to. Even though the book states that certain skills/familiarities are required, I found the text to be extremely approachable, with explanations of code that may seem elementary to some, but I welcomed it whole-heartedly as I continue to learn iOS development. This book may not be for everyone, but if you have a basic grasp of iOS development and Obj-C and need to get a database driven application built, you have everything you need right here. From my perspective and for my needs, it is a no-brainer to give this book 5 stars. 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful:
4.0 out of 5 stars
good book,
By K. Addaquay - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Professional iPhone and iPad Database Application Programming (Wrox Professional Guides) (Paperback)
i really like this book. its teaching me a great deal about working with sqlite and ios devices in a way that the other books haven't taught me. It touches on core data and working with web services as well. I am not giving a 5 on this only because i was hoping to get lots of information working with json, but didn't. Apart from that it does a marvelous job at explaining various and PROPER(mvc) ways of integration data into your applications.

I keep going back - good Core Data foundation reference,
By Bham Jack - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Professional iPhone and iPad Database Application Programming (Wrox Professional Guides) (Paperback)
I have used this book in two ways:First I fast read from beginning to end skimming or skipping chapters of less immediate interest (I am working on a project using core data first on Cocoa - later on components for iPhone / iPad). I skimmed Part I (iDevs & SQLlite) to focus on Part II: Core Data. This was very helpful in getting a good overview of the Core Data model and in thinking through basic db design issues. Later, as I have become enmeshed in the development cycle, I find myself returning before tackling each coding task that relates to the data model. I have found that taking this timeout after each block of programming, reading relevant sections again, has greatly increased my productivity and enhanced my knowledge at each step. The book is well organized so it is easy to find info relevant to tasks at hand and a 2nd reading (sometimes 3rd) after more actual experience is almost like getting a new book since information that kind of filled the background on a 1st read jumps out screaming 'oh yeah, I better take note of that". My hat is off to this author, especially given the derth of useful Core Data references. |
