More iPhone 3 Development: Tackling iPhone SDK 3 (Beginning)David Mark, Jeff LaMarcheI have been searching for a quality iPhone Development book for beginners. There are lots of books on iPhone development available, but it is VERY difficult to find something for real beginners. Obective-C is not HTML and it takes real effort to understand iPhone development. To that end, this book has been somewhat helpful. It does build gradually, introducing more and more complex tasks and does a pretty good job of explaining it along the way. The problem I found is that some of the exercises are spot on and work perfectly, while others fall flat and there is no life boat. The forum associated with the book is active but dated and responses spotty. I think the problem here is that the pace of development is so rapid with the iPhone (iOS3 last year, iOS4 this year) that the authors are so busy writing the next book that they don't have time to assist with the current edition and the editors are not checking the code carefully enough before hitting the print button on the presses.
As readers we are anxious to devour good material in order to learn, but the bane of many software books is that the code is not checked as well as the grammar and we are left to work through it or give up. This is a solid book and helpful in many ways, but there are a few flaws that can trip you up. Apress should pay a little more attention to making sure all the code works!
