Customer Review


Poorly written and outdated. - Jacob A. Rude -
I have had some prior experience programming for the iPhone via various online help sources. I purchased this book in hopes of it being a good book to really dig into the SDK and write/learn alot more code. The book has several errors and outdated information right from the first few chapters. Their equivalent of a "Hello world" app doesn't even run from instruction; you have to assume several things.

Overall, I would not recommend. The book seems rushed and unchecked for readability and accuracy. I'm sure there are several better books written for iPhone development.


Poorly Edited - outdated instructions - D. R. Smith - Brooklyn, NY
I recommend this book for anyone who already familiar with the MAC OS developer applications including the interface builder. But this is not for someone who is looking to start learning Cocoa Touch programming. The errata is not published online nor online resources referenced in the book. The author does a good job of explaining certain areas in depth but then breezes over other details for the user to figure out. I highly suspect that the editor did not fully review the material for readability or for content structure.

Also, since the release of Interface Builder 3.2.1 the author's instructions on how to build such things as outlets is wrong (this is a small but serious detail).

Overall I do not recommend this book for anyone but an advanced Cocoa Touch Programmer until the author works with the publisher to give buyers online support.
