Book Reviews of iPhone Application Development For Dummies
Book Review: Great book, only only one little irritating thing
Summary: 5 Stars
This is THE book to purchase if you want to learn the iPhone app development from the ground. The book "Beginning iPhone 3 Development" by Jeff LaMarche and Dave Mark, is a more in-depth book and I recommend that one to the more experienced programmer, but "iPhone Application Development for dummies" should be any other persons choice. This book also have a few really important mentions that LaMarche and Mark forget to mention at all.
The book itself is logically built up from the start with a lot of theory in the beginning. This is necessary to wrap the beginners head around objective thinking and especially the delegate part of iPhone programming, but it can be a bit of a desertwalk at times. Do not dispair, there is light at the end of the tunnel!
I mentioned in my title a point of irritation and that is that Neal Goldstein uses his own programs as reference all the time. He has to use some program, yes, but it's name is referred to so many times in the theory-part, that when you come to the practic part of the book you're kinda fed up with precisely that program already. If you can get over this little quirk of Goldstein you should be ok. He tries to be funny too, sometimes not very well attempts. Ignore that.
The book is well written, forgets nothing, as far as I care, and leaves you pretty well tanked up and ready to send your apps to the appstore in notime.
I have meters of iPhone litterature and along with the other book mentioned this one stands out!
It's a good buy, don't hesitate !
