Sams Teach Yourself iPhone Application Development in 24 Hours
By John Ray, Sean Johnson
Pub Date: Oct 15, 2009

Part of the Sams Teach Yourself Series

A clear, easy-to-understand tutorial for developers who want to write software for today's hottest market: iPhone, iTouch, and App Store!

Sams Teach Yourself Adobe iPhone Application Development in 24 Hours will help beginning iPhone and mobile developers gain true mastery, so you can construct virtually any iPhone application.

Sam's Teach yourself iPhone Application Programming in 24 Hours is without a doubt the best book on the subject that I have read so far. As a high-level instructor myself, it is easy to assume that someone new to a subject can just 'assume' something that the instructor takes for granted. The authors' attention to detail is nothing short of incredible. I have very little prior programming experience and having been busting my hump to understand this subject on my own. I have bought every book released on the subject so far and I can assure you that this is the best one for someone new to the subject with no prior experience to go.” – Mark Fitzgerald
