Beginning iPhone Development [PDF ebook] 
Exploring the iOS SDK

The team that brought you the bestselling
Beginning i Phone Development, the book that taught the world to program on the i Phone, is back again, bringing this definitive guide up-to-date with Apple’s latest and greatest new i OS 8 and its SDK, as well as with the latest version of Xcode (6.1).

You’ll have everything you need to create your very own apps for the latest i OS devices. Every single sample app in the book has been rebuilt from scratch using Xcode 6.1 and the latest 64-bit i OS 8-specific project templates, and designed to take advantage of the latest Xcode features.

Assuming only a minimal working knowledge of Objective-C, and written in a friendly, easy-to-follow style, Beginning i Phone Development offers a complete soup-to-nuts course in i Phone, i Pad, and i Pod touch programming. The book starts with the basics, walking through the process of downloading and installing Xcode 6.1 and the i OS 8 SDK, and then guides you though the creation of your first simple application.

From there, you’ll learn how 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 table building will be demystified, and you’ll learn how to save your data using the i Phone file system. You’ll also learn how to save and retrieve your data using a variety of persistence techniques, including Core Data and SQLite. And there’s much more!

Jack Nutting has been using Cocoa since the olden days, long before it was even called Cocoa. He has used Cocoa and its predecessors to develop software for a wide range of industries and applications, including gaming, graphic design, online digital distribution, telecommunications, finance, publishing, and travel. When he is not working on Mac or i OS projects, he is developing web applications with Ruby on Rails. Nutting is a passionate proponent of Objective-C and the Cocoa frameworks. At the drop of a hat, he will speak at length on the virtues of dynamic dispatch and run time class manipulations to anyone who will listen (and even to some who won t). Nutting is the primary author of Learn Cocoa on the Mac (Apress, 2010) and Beginning i Pad Development for i Phone Developers (Apress, 2010). He blogs from time to time at Nuthole.com.
