Interested in iPhone development? Want to learn more? Whether you're a
self-taught iPhone development genius or have just made your way through
the pages of Beginning iPhone 3 Development, we have the perfect book
for you.
More iPhone 3 Development: Tackling iPhone SDK 3 digs deeper into
Apple's latest SDK. Best-selling authors Dave Mark and Jeff
LaMarche explain concepts as only they can, covering topics like Core
Data, peer-to-peer networking using GameKit and network streams, working
with data from the web, MapKit, 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 iPhone 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 iPhone
3 Development left off with a series of chapters devoted to Core Data,
the standard for persistence that Apple introduced to iPhone 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 GameKit's relatively simple BlueTooth 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 iPhone development or an old hand
looking to expand your horizons, there's something for everyone in More
iPhone 3 Development.
Note: A few of the apps in this book demonstrate technologies not yet
supported by the simulator. To run them on your iPhone or iPod touch,
you'll need to join one of Apple's paid iPhone developer programs.
