Code samples and screenshots help punctuate the numerous tips and tricks in this book.”

—Jacqui Cheng, Associate Editor, Ars Technica

“We make our living writing this stuff and yet I am humbled by Erica’s command of her subject matter and the way she presents the material: pleasantly informal, then very appropriately detailed technically. This is a going to be the Petzold book for iPhone developers.”

—Daniel Pasco, Lead Developer and CEO, Black Pixel Luminance

“The iPhone Developer’s Cookbook: Building Applications with the iPhone SDK should be the first resource for the beginning iPhone programmer, and is the best supplemental material to Apple’s own documentation.”

—Alex C. Schaefer, Lead Programmer, ApolloIM, iPhone Application Development Specialist, MeLLmo, Inc

“Erica’s book is a truly great resource for Cocoa Touch developers. This book goes far beyond the documentation on Apple’s Web site, and she includes methods that give the developer a deeper understanding of the iPhone OS, by letting them glimpse at what’s going on behind the scenes on this incredible mobile platform.”

—John Zorko, Sr. Software Engineer, Mobile Devices

The iPhone and iPod touch aren’t just attracting millions of new users; their breakthrough development platform enables programmers to build tomorrow’s killer applications. If you’re getting started with iPhone programming, this book brings together tested, ready-to-use code for hundreds of the challenges you’re most likely to encounter. Use this fully documented, easy-to-customize code to get productive fast—and focus your time on the specifics of your application, not boilerplate tasks.

Leading iPhone developer Erica Sadun begins by exploring the iPhone delivery platform and SDK, helping you set up your development environment, and showing how iPhone applications are constructed. Next, she offers single-task recipes for the full spectrum of iPhone/iPod touch programming jobs:

Utilize views and tables
Organize interface elements
Alert and respond to users
Access the Address Book (people), Core Location (places), and Sensors (things)
Connect to the Internet and Web services
Display media content
Create secure Keychain entries
And much more

You’ll even discover how to use Cover Flow to create gorgeous visual selection experiences that put scrolling lists to shame!

This book is organized for fast access: related tasks are grouped together, and you can jump directly to the right solution, even if you don’t know which class or framework to use. All code is based on Apple’s publicly released iPhone SDK, not a beta. No matter what iPhone projects come your way, The iPhone Developer’s Cookbook will be your indispensable companion.

Customer Reviews for 'The iPhone Developer's Cookbook: Building Applications with the iPhone SDK (Developer's Library)'

Perfect for seasoned programmers

If you're an accomplished Objective C programmer then this book really help you understand the fine points of iPhone programming.

Good stuff but not enough

I've been working through this book to develop an iPhone application. The book starts out well but then goes off in directions where a lot of Objective C experience is assumed and the code that is presented is not explained sufficiently. I'm an experienced C# developer but Cocoa and the iPhone SDK are significantly different. This book provides some understanding but doesn't provide enough explanation to get me to the point where I can write application that are significantly different than the limited examples in the book. I'm needing to look at other books and many other resources to get me started with iPhone development.

This should be your SECOND iPhone programming book !

Erica Sadun is known for her iPhone reengineering since the beginning of (iPhone) time. This book sums up her experiences with iPhone programming, starting from the toolchain times. She shows a lot of tricks you won't see in the standard books. But to really enjoy this book, you should know iPhone programming at least basically. This is NOT a methodical introduction for complete beginners, but a collection of iPhone programming concepts and gems for people who already understand the basics. So, if you buy this book to LEARN iPhone programming, you will certainly be disappointed. But if you buy this book to IMPROVE your iPhone programming skills, you will really like this book a lot.

Erica Sadun's aptitude makes this a MUST buy!

Erica Sadun's inherit capability to write beautiful and self-explanatory code is evident in the iPhone Developer's Cookbook. These aren't the same cookie-cutter examples you have come to expect from most sample applications out there. This text contains examples for applications which the real world has come to expect out of iPhone developers. Erica pushes the limits of the developer API and it shows that her expertise on the subject is nothing short of a virtuoso. This makes for excellent reference material to keep by your side while developing iPhone applications!

Solid Recipes

The author provides plenty of solid recipes to help the new iPhone developer get their application vision together. The only reason why I hold back the fifth star, is that I wish the book had a bit more for the advanced iPhone developer. More meat about using Core Animation or SQLite would have been nice.
