Customer Reviews

Experienced developers need this book
I'm an experienced iPhone developer with 5 apps in the App Store. I've been making a living as an independent iPhone developer for over a year. I know how to write iPhone apps, yet there is some much to know. This book helps developers with all the the important Cocoa Touch APIs and give useful examples on how to implement the APIs. I use this book as a reference for all the new 3.x API that I haven't had time to dig out of the Apple documentation. The book explains what the API does and why I care. I have already used the contents of this book to implement copy and paste and develop my own button animations.
