iPhone/iPad Programming
iPhone/iPad Programming
Learn By Building Real Apps
About the Book
This book evolved out of a course on iPhone/iPad programming that I teach in the Bay Area. The excitement level in the class peaks when we are building apps.
This book draws on the same energy: We are going to build apps. And in the process of making our apps we will learn Objective-C and iPhone/iPad/iOS programming.
This book is dedicated to makers everywhere. People who know the thrill of creating. People who create things and release them.
