Synopsis

HIGHLIGHT
iPhone in Action

is a complete and authoritative introduction to programming

for the iPhone, and the first book to cover the new and widely anticipated

iPhone SDK. Coauthored by a leader of the iPhone development community,

this book puts iPhone web development and iPhone SDK development together

into a comprehensive introductory package.

DESCRIPTION

iPhone in Action is a complete introduction to programming for the iPhone,

and the first book to cover the new iPhone SDK. Coauthored by one of the leaders

of the iPhone development community, this book shows readers how to do

web development and use the new iPhone SDK.

This book takes current web developers, shows them how to develop web pages

specifically for the iPhone, and then bootstraps them up to SDK programming.

It also shows programmers comfortable with structured languages how to program

specifically with the SDK. This introductory book to iPhone development

lets developers who are new to the iPhone technology dive right in and start

creating applications.

The first half of the book covers web programming. Readers learn how to adapt

existing web pages to the iPhone using unique metatags and events, as well as all

the ins and outs of how to create new web applications just for the iPhone.

The second half covers native iPhone programming using the brand new iPhone

SDK. Readers will learn to use the tools which Apple provides to program,

debug, and test iPhone applications. This book also covers the major aspects of

the SDK, including UI creation, graphics, and the interfaces that Apple provides

to access other iPhone apps.

An iPhone user is as likely to be flicking...Proficiency with C, Cocoa, or

Objective-C is helpful but not required.

• Learning about the new iPhone native SDK
