Description

An iPhone user is as likely to be flicking, tapping, or staring at his iPhone as speaking into it. And for developers, it's a whole new ballgame. To build native iPhone apps, you have to master an innovative user interface, a new SDK, and radically expanded limits for what a mobile application can do. The game changes on the web, too, where sites and applications can take advantage of the iPhone's unique navigation, display, and media capabilities.

iPhone in Action offers a complete introduction to native and web programming for the iPhone. You'll start with a dev-level overview of the iPhone's features and capabilities. Then, you'll learn to adapt web pages for the iPhone, using unique metatags and events. You'll also use the WebKit, iUI, and Canvas to match the look-and-feel of iPhone native apps on the web. Finally, you'll dive into the iPhone SDK, learning the basic building blocks of the iPhone's user interface, as well as digging deep into the iPhone's toolbox to learn about accelerometers, GPS, media integration, and much more. Along the way, you'll use Apple's standard tools to program, debug, and test iPhone applications.

This book is intended as an introduction to its topics. Proficiency with C, Cocoa, or Objective-C is helpful but not required.

Is this offer also valid in Germany?

[Chris Stewart]

Good question. I'm not sure. You should be able to apply the coupon code and find out though without actually placing the order.

The coupon has expired.

I guess that´s because they finished most of the chapters by now..

[Chris Stewart]

Thanks for the heads up. I'll check with the publisher to see what the deal is.
