iPhone SDK Programming, A Beginner's Guide

Great Price "iPhone SDK Programming, A Beginner's Guide" for $19.00 Today



I would like to say that this book is great. It's definitely a great book for beginners.
The book teaches how to do the basic stuff such as navigation controllers, table views and simple stuff such as buttons, images, view controllers, etc.
However, I noticed this book seemed to be rushed...for example, the author teaches how to make the navigation bar disappear
using the viewWillAppear method but then doesn't tell you how to get it back and where to place code (PAGE 178).
I found out that you must incorporate setNavigatioBarHidden:NO animated:YES to view didLoad method in the second view controller just to get the Navigation Bar back.
It was frustrating to search through the net and then figure it out on your own.

I recommend this book for absolute beginners, who would like to tinker but not for production.
Although the author has written a decent book, I hope that the author realizes that improvements are needed such as:

1) Completing methods when they are introduced.
2) Help the reader understand why they are doing some things introduced.
3) Check the book for logical reasoning in the reader's perspective, such as the aformentioned navigationbar.
4) If a publishing company rushes the author to print an unfinished book, then the author needs to find a new publisher.

Fun Intro to iPhone Programming. - David House - San Francisco, CA
Easy to understand introduction to iPhone programming. Along with coding, Interface Builder is utilized in the examples and exercises to give the reader a better sense of how it can be used in development. Overall I've learned a lot from this book.


No Easy Access to Table of Contents in Kindle for iPhone Version - Web Phillips -
I am giving the Kindle for iPhone version of this book a low review, because it lacks an easy access to the Table of Contents.

You cannot easily navigate to the Table of Contents of this book using the "Go to" feature in the Kindle for iPhone app, because it states that no Table of Contents is available for this book.

However, a Table of Contents for the Kindle for iPhone version of this book does exist, but you have to manually flip through the pages on your iPhone or iPod Touch to find it.
