Introduction
The amazing success of iPhone and iPod touch is a clear indication that application developers are entering a brave new world of sophisticated, multifunctional mobile applications. No longer do applications and various media need to live in separate silos. Instead, applications on these Apple devices can bring together elements of Web 2.0 apps, traditional desktop apps, multimedia video and audio, and the cell phone.
Professional iPhone™ and iPod touch® Programming: Building Applications for Mobile Safari™ covers the various aspects of developing Web-based applications for the iPhone and iPod touch environments. Specifically, you will discover how to create a mobile application from the ground up, utilize existing open source libraries in your code, emulate the look and feel of built-in Apple applications, capture finger-touch interactions, using AJAX to load external pages, and optimize applications for Wi-Fi and the EDGE network.
