Books for a beginner in iPhone Development?

[Noise]

What books do you guys recommend for someone fairly new to Obj-C, and just getting into iPhone OS Game Programming?

Jeff LaMarche's Beginning iPhone Development - still my reference.

I actually have that.

For some reason, I forgot "game" in the title. I edited it, but it didn't seem to show up.

I'm looking for books specifically for beginner game development.

My mistake. I have iPhone Games Projects, but I wouldn't recommend it. There are a few others I also have but they are generally useless.

I learnt more from toying with Cocos and reading posts in their forum, than I did with any of the books.

Good Luck.

Thanks for the info. iPhone Games Projects was actually one I was looking at, but wasn't sure it would be useful or not.

I'll check out those forums. Thanks for the tip.

If you want a kickstart in your career that costs nothing:
Here's a tutorial series that isn't in the tutorials section(Mainly because Chris hasn't responded to my email):
Game Maker's Garage Forum

Meant for those with little to no programming experience. Just by watching the first video tutorial which is only 13 min, you can immediately start programming games. Meanwhile, the game template included gives you nearly everything you'll need for an advanced game.
