Beginning i Phone 4 Development is here! The authors of the bestselling Beginning i Phone 3 Development are back, with the same excellent material completely updated for i OS 4 and written from the ground up using the latest version of Apple’s Xcode 3. All source code has been updated to use the latest Xcode templates and current APIs, and all-new screenshots show Xcode 3 in action.
Beginning i Phone 4 Development is a complete course in i OS 4 apps development. You’ll master techniques that work on i Phone, i Pad, and i Pod touch. We start with the basics, showing you how to download and install the tools you’ll need, and how to create your first simple application. Next you’ll learn to integrate all the interface elements i OS users have come to know and love, such as buttons, switches, pickers, toolbars, and sliders. You’ll master a variety of design patterns, from the simplest single view to complex hierarchical drill-downs. The confusing art of tablebuilding will be demystified, and you’ll learn techniques to save and retrieve your data using SQLite, i Phone’s built-in database management system and Core Data, the standard for persistence that Apple brought to i OS with the release of SDK 3.
And there’s much more! You’ll learn to draw using Quartz 2D and Open GL ES, add multitouch gestural support (pinches and swipes) to your applications, and work with the camera, photo library, accelerometer, and built-in GPS. You’ll discover the fine points of application preferences and learn how to localize your apps for multiple languages. You’ll also learn how to use the new concurrency APIs included in i OS 4, and make robust multithreaded applications using Grand Central Dispatch.
