subject: Make An IPhone Application [print this page] How to Make An iPhone App, proved very helpful in getting me up to speed developing for the iPhone. I especially liked the section on the application development formula.
Since the App Store launched in July 2008 I have been building apps and selling them full-time for the indy software company I started last year.
It has been super-fun but getting started developing for the iPhone proved to be particularly challenging even though I have learned new platforms quickly in the past.
I wrote the book so that you can get started developing your app more quickly, with less pain and so you can avoid the roadblocks that held me up. I would like you to skip right to the fun part!.

I gotta tell you...this ebook is much better than any of the 6 books I have bought from Amazon. Some of the hardcover books are cool because of the sample source code BUT they assume I know all about C programming and never explain the basics like you do !!
The extra Bonus stuff is also AMAZING!! I love the source code snippets but the SQLite program is very helpful to me as I have an app I am working on that uses tables which looks lame compared to your pretty tables with images, subtext and turn blue on tap...simply awesome !!
