iPHONE DEVELOPMENT

iPhone and iPad IN ACTION
SEE INSERT

Trebitowski Allen Appelcline

T

his hands-on tutorial will help you master iPhone/iPad
development using the native iPhone SDK. It guides you
from setting up dev tools like Xcode and Interface Builder,

through coding your first app, all the way to selling in the
App Store.

Using many examples, the book covers core features like
accelerometers, GPS, the Address Book, and much more.
Along the way, you’ll learn to leverage your iPhone skills to
build attractive iPad apps. This is a revised and expanded
edition of the original iPhone in Action.

“Everything you need to
know about these devices
of the future!”
—Berndt Hamboeck, pmOne

“Apple should make this its
official iPhone and iPad
development book.”
—Jason Jung, Rockwell

What’s Inside
Full coverage of the iPhone SDK
In-app purchasing with Store Kit
Audio and recording
Core Data, Core Location, Game Kit, Map Kit
And much more!
No previous iPhone or iPad know-how needed. Familiarity
with C, Cocoa, or Objective-C helps but is not required.
Brandon Trebitowski is a professional mobile developer
with ELC Technologies and founder of iCodeBlog.com.
Christopher Allen is the host of iphonewebdev.com and an

organizer of iPhoneDevCamp. Shannon Appelcline is a writer,
technologist, and game developer. Christopher and Shannon
