Book description
With more than 250 million iOS devices sold Apple’s
booming mobile platform provides a large and rapidly growing app
market for developers, and with the release of the iOS 5 SDK, Apple
has provided their richest, most exciting set of development tools
yet. In this book, iOS programming expert Richard Warren shows you
how to use these powerful tools to begin writing the next
generation of iOS apps. Richard provides a complete introduction to
iPhone and iPad development, emphasizing the newest technologies
and best practices for iOS 5.
After a tour of the inner workings of an iOS project and an
invaluable examination of Objective-C, you will hone your
app-developing skills by developing a complete, full-featured
application. You start by building the app’s user interface.
This will cover everything from linking View Controllers in the
Storyboard to drawing custom views. Next, you will use iCloud
storage and Core data to manage your app’s data model,
synchronizing your data across multiple devices. Then you tackle
more advanced topics, including Core Animation, Core Motion, Core
Location and Core Image. Finally, Richard shows you how to test,
polish and prepare your apps for submission to the iTunes App
Store.
