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 software development kit, 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 multi-touch gesture 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.

On page Source Code:The Source Code cannot be downloaded.Author Comment:
On page 11:Source code files not (no longer?) to be found online?Author Comment:
On page 11:Link for "Project Files" under Source Code/Download, all I get are two pdf docs. The bokks says to simply "expand the archive and copy project folders" "WHERE ARE THE PROJECT FOLDERS?"
Couldn't even get started on the first project b/c of this error. Thought this would be a good book to follow. It should have just came with a CD with the project files on it.Author Comment:
On page 81:The initialization of alert should include delegate:nil instead of delegate:self
On page 254:I have the first edition of Beginning iPhone Development (2009) and the code is on page 254.(The bug is also present in Beginning iPhone 4 Development). It is the example of the Second Subcontroller:The Checklist. I am referring to the line:
lastIndexPath = indexPath
I think this should be:
self.lastIndexPath = indexPath or
[self setLastIndexPath:indexPath]
The property lastIndexPath is synthesized and a retain should be applied on it.
However, I think that with the line:
lastIndexPath = indexPath
the retain is not done, i.e. the setter is not called.
