about the book

Since iPhone SDK programming uses Objective C, you'll start with a quick overview of the language in the first chapter. Instead of doing everything by code, though, the book takes full advantage of the GUI Interface Builder for making applications quickly with a minimum of coding. Fully up-to-date for iPhone SDK 3, the book explains each user interface component step-by-step, and shows you how each one works in a running app.

about the reader

To get the most out of this book, readers should have used another programming language, but no experience with the iPhone SDK or Objective C is required. Each of the many examples is fully illustrated with easy, hands-on instructions and complete, annotated code listings.
