To my brothers, Eric, Danny, and Kyle Welch.
Thank you for keeping me humble and
reminding me of the humor in life.


Acknowledgments

A book is one of those things that involves so many people besides the author
listed on the cover. This book would not exist without the hard work of all those
individuals. To all of the fine folks at Peachpit Press, thank you for your time and
energy in this project.
Margaret Anderson, Nancy Peterson, and Jan Seymour read through my early
writings and helped me turn them into the book you’re reading today. Without their
guidance and expertise in communication, this book would not have been possible.
I am truly blessed to have worked with such a solid, professional, and savvy team.
I hope to work again with all of them in the future. Scott “Fish” Fisher, my tech
editor, played an equally important role of double-checking my code samples to
be sure they were accurate, simple, and to the point. Thanks, Fish.
For people not directly involved in this book, I want to thank the folks at
Flipboard for their help answering questions. Also, thanks to Charles Ying for
reading some early drafts and serving as a test audience. You guys are a top notch
team and I love your work.
As a side note, I wouldn’t be where I am today without the teaching efforts of
Evan Doll and Alan Cannistraro. Thank you, guys.
Finally, I would like to thank everyone over at Kelby Media Group and those
who use my apps. iOS is a platform that is ever changing. For this reason I am
constantly learning and applying knowledge to new apps. Kelby Media Group,

specifically Scott Kelby and Dave Moser, have offered me so many opportunities
to continue to work with their team and perfect my craft. To the fine users of
NAPP who download my apps, thank you for your feedback. Without users, an
app developer’s life is pretty boring.
