iPhone Developer’s Cookbook

The PDF version of Erica Sadun’s book, “The iPhone Developer’s Cookbook: Building Applications with the iPhone SDK” (link: http://tinyurl.com/4aldd8) is finally available.

I’ll admit, I had some very high expectations for this book. The samples on Erica Sadun’s web site offered a peek into what to expect. Not only does the book meet my expectations, but it impossibly exceeds them.

The first surprise was the first chapter, a great primer for iPhone development. I wish I had this in my hands when I first started doing iPhone development, as chapter one explains some key concepts important to understanding iPhone development. The first chapter alone is worth the price of admission for those new to iPhone development.

The rest of the book is filled with examples of how to accomplish magic in all aspects of iPhone development. Some that you would figure out yourself given enough time, but most true gems. And a few with non-public API calls (use at your own risk).

Check it, out! You won’t regret it.
