Great Books!
Due to the high level of praise I express in this post, I need to start off by saying I am NOT affiliated in any way with the authors, editors, or publishers. I'm just extremely impressed and thought some of y'all might want to take a gander at these two books.
I recently found two new books in iBooks. I've read a lot of the books out there and for the most part they are all the same in the sense they give really basic examples and don't show how to implement the different aspects into an actual application someone would develop.
These two are:
Professional iPhone and iPad Application Development by Gene Backlin and
Professional iPhone and iPad Database Application Programming by Patrick Alessi
They are both available in from iBooks and are by the WROX's guys. These books do expect you to have some knowledge of OOP. They don't waste 3 chapters and 60 pages by walking you through becoming a developer and downloading XCode. Instead, they take you right to the meat and bones of programming.
So far, a lot of the questions that get asked repeatedly in the forums are covered, i.e. displaying data from one class in another. The examples are in depth and incorporate enough elements into them to give you a great example to use in order to create your own, fully functional application.
If you have no experience, get these two books along with a beginners book. Go through the beginners book first to learn what OOP is, how to navigate XCode, and acquire the fundamentals necessary to understand these two books (they're not overly technical, but they don't explain the basics...they only explain the more 'advanced' techniques].
If you can't tell, I'm a very satisfied reader.
If you decided to take a look, I hope y'all enjoy them as much as I do.
- Enjoy
