To my mother, Adeline. Thank you for those 13 hours! Love you.
—Rory

To my amazing mom—the most caring and supportive person I’ve ever known.
Thank you for your endless love!
—Yulia

To Donna, my wife of 31 years, my best friend and travelling companion through this life and
around this beautiful planet. Without your support and encouragement, many of my efforts
throughout our time together would not have been possible, nor nearly as enjoyable. I look
forward to our upcoming years together.
To my son Steve, for sharing in our many endeavors together, for your graphics contribution to
our first joint iOS app, 9CardGolf in the App Store, but most importantly for being a shining
example to me, and I hope to others, of constant self-motivation and constant learning, and for
maintaining a youthful passion for learning about the universe in which we live. I look forward
to seeing where you go with your photography passion and the life ahead of you.
—Stephen

31. Navigate to DBAuthor.m. Drag in the ‘‘09 DBAuthor.m Methods
and Extra Properties Implementation’’ snippet from
DemoMonkey and place it between the last @dynamic and the
@end. Also add #import "DBBook.h" right after the #import
"DBAuthor.h’’ as shown in Figure 6-30 and as follows:

#import "DBAuthor.h"
#import "DBBook.h"

That’s it! You’ve got through the setup and are ready to get on with designing
