These days, there's no shortage of books about how to develop an iPhone app. But to make your product a success, you need to do much more than just create great software.
iPhone App Development: The Missing Manual takes you through the entire development process. You'll learn how to write the code for a successful title on the App Store, but just as importantly, you'll acquire the skills to design, test, and market that product.
