More about the book
Are you a programmer seeking a new challenge? If building your own iPhone app excites you, this updated guide for iPhone SDK 3 is perfect. It clarifies complex topics and rebuilds all projects using SDK 3 templates. Assuming minimal knowledge of Objective-C, the book is written in a friendly, easy-to-follow style, offering a comprehensive course in iPhone and iPod touch programming. It begins with downloading and installing Apple's free iPhone SDK and guides you through creating your first simple app. You'll learn to integrate popular interface elements like buttons, switches, and sliders, and master various design patterns, from simple views to complex hierarchies. The book demystifies table building and teaches you how to save data using the iPhone file system and SQLite, Apple's built-in database management system. You'll also explore Core Data, a new persistence mechanism in SDK 3.
