Synopsis

This is Volume 2 of a 2-Volume book.

iOS 5 is one of the biggest upgrades to iOS so far, and has a ton of awesome features that you’ll definitely want to start using in your apps. The only problem is, there’s not a ton of documentation or sample code on the new APIs, so they’re often quite hard to learn!

This is where iOS 5 By Tutorials comes in! The goal of the book is to help you get up-to-speed with the new iOS 5 APIs in the quickest and easiest way – via tutorials!

This book is for intermediate or advanced iOS developers, who already know the basics of iOS development but want to upgrade their skills to iOS 5.

iOS 5 by Tutorials Volume 2 covers the following APIs:
