Editorial Review: Product Description: Are you a programmer looking for a new challenge? Does the thought of building your very own iPhone app make your heart race and your pulse quicken? If so, then Beginning iPhone Development is just the book for you. Assuming only a minimal working knowledge of Objective-C, and written in a friendly, easy-to-follow style, Beginning iPhone Development offers a complete soup-to-nuts course in iPhone and iPod Touch programming. The book starts with the basics, walking you through the process of downloading and installing Apple's free iPhone SDK, then stepping you though the creation of your first simple iPhone application. You'll move on from there, mastering all the iPhone interface elements that you've come to know and love, such as buttons, switches, pickers, toolbars, sliders, etc. You'll master a variety of design patterns, from the simplest single view to complex hierarchical drill-downs. You'll master the art of table-building and learn how to save your data using the iPhone file system. You'll also learn how to save and retrieve your data using SQLite, iPhone's built-in database management system. You'll learn how to draw using Quartz 2D and OpenGL ES. You'll add MultiTouch Gestural Support (pinches and swipes) to your applications, and work with the Camera, Photo Library, and Accelerometer. You'll master application preferences, learn how to localize your apps into other languages, and so much more. Apple's iPhone SDK, this book, and your imagination are all you'll need to start building your very own best-selling iPhone applications. Reviews

Average Rating:
 Rating:  - This book is FULL of TYPOS!This book is NOT for the beginner. If you are not familiar with C/C++/Obj-C, I wouldn't recommend this book. Furthermore, it is FULL of typos; most likely from the publisher. I type in the code examples and got errors. I wrote the author and he recommended I use the forum on his site. So, I joined the forum, stated my error(s) in a message, and people answered. Every few pages, I was having to go into the forum and ask about problems I was having with the code. After having done this several ... Read More Rating:  - Great Book!Although I have only worked through Chapter # 7 so far, I have found this book to be an excellent tutorial for developing on the iPhone. The sample projects are well organized and build upon each other progressively. So far, I haven't found ANY errors in the sample code (from the book). I've made a few blunders of my own by mistyping code or accidently omitting steps while working in the Interface Builder. The title "Beginning" might be a little misleading for some folks. I'm an experienced developer ... Read More Rating: - Great for BeginnersThis is a great book to start developing for the iphone, I have read one-fifth and the examples are great, am learning a lot perhaps Im not familiar with objective-c programing. I would recommend this book for people who does not know much about this code. Rating: - iphone omnipotence (iO)Personally, I'm happy with what this book provides in the form of Objective C examples and fundamentals for creating iPhone native applications with Xcode and Interface Builder. The learning pattern of the book goes like this: write some code, run some code, and explain some code. This works well for most people with experience in application development. If / when you get this book, however, do not put too much pressure on it to explain to you every possible concept there is to know about ... Read More Rating:  - Title is misleading, not for beginnersWhile the iphone concepts start out simplistically, this book is not for someone who is new to programming. Perhaps a better title would have been "Beginning iPhone development for Objective C programmers" or maybe included a chapter or 2 as primers to C/Objective C. This is my 3rd day on the book and I've decided to put it down and review Objective C (in another book by Sam's) before continuing simply because this book's examples start off with lots of Objective C, that even though ...
