Best second book for starting development for de iPhoneJuly 26, 2010 Ender J. Ocando Hung(miami, florida USA) This is the book #2 tha you have to read if you aré a 0 biginner , the first is form Dr. Rory Lewis "iPhone development for absolute biguinners
The bestJune 22, 2010 Josh King(Newton, IA USA) I am a beginning iPhone developer coming from a c# and .net background. This book takes the extra steps necessary to make sure you understand every concept.
Start Here!June 1, 2010 Alan Edwards This is THE book to get you started! The authors have structured an excellent progression of well written lessons. The author's voice is natural and encouraging and sometimes funny. It is rarely dry.
Nine times out of ten, if I had a question while reading the text or programming along with the code, it was anticipated in the text and answered soon after. Often, right when I am about to stretch my legs and try something on my own anyway, the very next thing I read is encouragement to go ahead and try to figure it out on my own. The reader is encouraged to try things out on their own and think about the problem a bit before the answer is given. Speaking from a teacher's perspective, this is good pedagogy (use of instructional strategies).
This book took me from confused and unsure to confident and excited to try more. I'm a seasoned Perl and C programmer and before I read this book, I read all the instruction and documentation I could find on the web from Apple and from developers. But it was, of course, disjointed and inconsistent. I couldn't get my head around the subject as a whole. But after reading the book, all the separate pieces fit better together in my head.
If you are looking for a coherent walk through the basics that will help you get a grasp on the whole, and get you started on your road to development, this is the book you are looking for.
Here are two more books that I moved on to (but do not have a review for yet):
More iPhone 3 Development: Tackling iPhone SDK 3 (Beginning)
Beginning iPhone Games Development
Be sure to visit the online forums for this book for additional help and errata. (Sorry, I can't include a URL here.) Many developers and the book's authors are more than willing to help you if you get stuck. The forums also have downloadable source code that goes along with this book.
really usefulJune 1, 2010 Andrea Miatto It's a step-by-step tutorial book, detailed, well organized. When you get at the end of this book it's impossible you haven't learnt how to program an Iphone.
A defect? It lacks of some class diagram to better understand the organization of cocoa.
Very good tutorial for iPhone developmentMay 19, 2010 Michael Heins(Draper, UT United States) Although I have prior Cocoa/MacOS programming experience, Cocoa Touch on the iPhone was enough different that I needed some help to come up to speed quickly. This book was just the ticket. I found it well written and the level of detail was good.
