Interested in i Phone development? Want to learn more? Whether you’re a self-taught i Phone development genius or have just made your way through the pages of Beginning i Phone 3 Development, we have the perfect book for you.
More i Phone 3 Development: Tackling i Phone SDK 3 digs deeper into Apple’s latest SDK. Best-selling authorsDave Mark and
Jeff La Marche explain concepts as only they can, covering topics like Core Data, peer-to-peer networking using Game Kit and network streams, working with data from the web, Map Kit, in-application e-mail, and more. All the concepts and APIs are clearly presented with code snippets you can customize and use, as you like, in your own apps.
If you are going to write a professional i Phone app, you’ll want to get your arms around Core Data, and there’s no better place to do so than in the pages of this book. The book continues right where Beginning i Phone 3 Development left off with a series of chapters devoted to Core Data, the standard for persistence that Apple introduced to i Phone with SDK 3. Jeff and Dave carefully step through each of the Core Data concepts and show you techniques and tips specifically for writing larger applications—offering a breadth of coverage you won’t find anywhere else.
The Core Data coverage alone is worth the price of admission. But there’s so much more. This book covers a variety of networking mechanisms, from Game Kit’s relatively simple Blue Tooth peer-to-peer model, to the addition of Bonjour discovery and network streams, through the complexity of accessing files via the web. Dave and Jeff will also take you through coverage of concurrent programming and some advanced techniques for debugging your applications.
Whether you are a relative newcomer to i Phone development or an old hand looking to expand your horizons, there’s something for everyone in More i Phone 3 Development.
Note: Afew of the apps in this book demonstrate technologies not yet supported by the simulator. To run them on your i Phone or i Pod touch, you’ll need to join one of Apple’s paid i Phone developer programs.
