WHAT YOU NEED TO USE THIS BOOK

This book can be read as a non-technical guide, without the need for supplementary software to get value from it. However, when you begin developing for iOS, (iPhone, iPad, and so on), you will need a Mac, typically running the latest Mac OS for the latest version of iOS (currently in iteration 5). Anything from a Mac Mini to MacBook Pro will work.

If you're just planning on testing or reviewing builds, and not being part of programming, a Mac isn't required, but you should eventually own one of the devices your app is being planned for, so you can see for yourself how new versions of your app are progressing prior to release.

You may also want to get started reading up on Apple's Developer Portal (developer.apple.com), where Apple offers everything from helpful guides for getting started, to downloads of the iOS Software Development Kit (SDK).

As well as reading up, if you're sure you'll be developing an app, be sure to enroll early for the iOS Developer Program (developer.apple.com/programs/ios/), because this is where you will get access to the App Store for either yourself as an individual developer, or your company, where you can add additional members of your team.
