Overview
The best place to start iOS application development
The Core iOS Developer’s Cookbook provides
ready-to-use code solutions for common iOS challenges, providing
recipes that help you master the core technology at the heart of
iOS. Renowned iOS programming expert Erica Sadun and top iOS
developer Rich Wardwell cover the topics you need to create
successful mobile applications that take full advantage of iOS
graphics, touches, and views.
As in all of Sadun’s iOS bestsellers, The Core iOS
Developer’s Cookbook translates modern best practices into
working code, distilling key concepts into concise recipes you can
easily understand and apply to your own projects. This isn’t
just cut-and-paste; using examples, Sadun and Wardwell fully
explain both the “how” and “why” that
underscore effective and successful iOS development.

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.Addison B.
