Review of completed bookcover to cover. Me Final impression of the book 3.5/5.0 - Good contentsome coding issues.I am actually pleased with the content and line by line comments. I was able to get the projects to work after some tinkering and did find that the material that was covered provided the resources necessary to build functioning 2D games. As an intro to iOS game programming, I did find that I would recommend this book (with a strong note regarding the coding issues).The book does cover a lot of ground (for someone who is new at this) and is well written contrary to some books. The coding is obviously not "perfect" but shouldn't distract from . Great entry-level book. Michael D. Fox First time book reviewer here.I'm an experienced (21+ years) software developer new to iOS development including XCode, Objective C, Cocoa and the overall iOS development "paradigm". This book has been incredibly helpful to me. What I really needed was an overview of the various areas which I need to become more familiar with (initially I didn't even "know what I didn't know") and "Beginning iOS Game Development" has given me that. I fully expect to eventually shift over to more in-depth material (whether that's books like "The iOS 5 Developer's Cookbook" or Apple's own developer site and forums) but this book. excellent book! i love this book! it's very informative and easy to follow along. it definitely does a good job at teaching you the objective-c language, the iOS framework, and general game design. there are some minor code and grammer errors in the book but you can figure it out immediately if you have a basic understanding of the language. It's a lot of fun building the many sample games in the book. i love it!if you're completely new to iOS development, this book is NOT for you. i suggest reading "Programming in Objective-C", then the "iOS Development: Big Nerd Ranch Guide" to get the basics down. You should also take the
