Middle of page following 3rd paragraph

Published:
"The C++ equivalent of this might look like the following:
returnValue = myWidget->powerOn();"

If myWidget is a record and PowerOn() is declared as a function of the record, but this is C not really C++. I would suggest perhaps given:
public class wodget {
public:
wodget(){};
~wodget(){};
int powerOn ( viod ) {
// some code goes here
}
};
You might use:
returnValue = myWidget.powerOn();

I know it is more lines of print, but perhaps more clear, especially to the non-C++ C programmers out there.

Just a suggestion.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Good suggestion, but pls rename wodget to widget on reprint.

Example 3-35

iPhone SDK Application Development, 1st Edition has formatting problems in Example 3-35. TableDemo view controller (TableDemoViewController.m)

for example, in -

(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRow
AtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

cellForRowAtIndexPath should be all one word

There is a misprint in the source code name of the file AVMeter main

Example 6-7. AVMeter main (AVMeterView.m)

Example 6-8, "SoundFinished" function

Hi -

There is a typo in the AudioServicesDisposeSystemSoundID which should be called with the param "soundID" instead of "sample".

// When the sound is finished playing, this function is called
static void SoundFinished (SystemSoundID soundID, void *sample)
{
/* I'm all finished playing, so free up resources */

/* wrong: AudioServicesDisposeSystemSoundID(sample); */
AudioServicesDisposeSystemSoundID(soundID);
CFRelease(sample);
CFRunLoopStop(CFRunLoopGetCurrent());
}

Regards,

makeRequest method

The first line of code is:

CFReadStream readStream;

It should be CFReadStreamRef I think, as CFReadStream doesn't exist.

4th paragraph

In the discussion of the hidesForSinglePage property, is incorrect. It should read YES instead of NO. As it is printed, the description of this property is backwards. The text should read:


By default, the indicator will be displayed even if there is only one page. To hide the indicator when only one page is configured, set the hidesForSinglePage value to YES:

pageControl.hidesForSinglePage = YES;
