iOS 5 Core Frameworks: Develop and Design: Working with graphics, location, iCloud, and more
by Shawn Welch
Overview
Apple has made it easy to get started
developing for iOS out of the box. To access the true power of iOS,
however, you need to go beyond these simple tools and APIs.
Experienced app developer Shawn Welch teaches you how to tap into
the true potential of iOS by incorporating some of the most
powerful technologies it has to offer.
Using Core Data and iCloud, you'll learn how to store information
locally and sync seamlessly across multiple devices and platforms.
Leverage iOS 5's new Twitter APIs, which provide painless Twitter
and OAuth support using the new Accounts framework. Use Location
Services to incorporate new iOS 5 features, such as reverse
geolocation lookup and region notifications. Incorporate rich media
into your apps using Graphics, Animation, Audio, Video, and
post-processing photo filters and analysis through Core Image.
Finally, explore Newsstand, which lets you create your own
periodical content and push new content to devices, even when the
app is not running.
