DESCRIPTION:
Allister Smith said More intermediate than beginners. Having already gone through an iPhone beginners book I found the text very useful because it approached things from a different angle. For example components are built in code rather than in Interface Builder. It also provides a good overview of each component.My only gripe is that each page is split into "More intermediate than beginners" according to Allister Smith. Having already gone through an iPhone beginners book I found the text very useful because it approached things from a different angle.

Which works well when providing a picture next to the text. But doesn't work well with code, particularly Objective-C. The method names are so long that each line of code spreads over 2-5. columns.

Avoid this book Matthew Brazington The book is supposed to be a quickstart guide. It is in fact quite the opposite. I got halfway through the book and was still not clear on how an iphone app was put together. The book has obviously been cobbled together in a few days and pushed out quickly. I got much further much more quickly by searching the web for free tutorials.. "No Good" according to Matthew H.. I was given this book by my employer to get familiar with iPhone development. In the very first chapter is starts off by expalining strings, arrays, other types of storages. It does'nt even give you example code until about chapter No Good I was given this book by my employer to get familiar with iPhone development. In the very first chapter is starts off by expalining strings, arrays, other types of storages. It does'nt even give you example code until about chapter 3. It does not explain any syntax, or anything else about the code, what does what etc. Even the example programs crash. I know for a fact there are at least two that crash due to missing methods in the example. This seems to be more of a reference book, if you want to add. .
