  is a complete and authoritative introduction to programming

  DESCRIPTION

  iPhone in Action is a complete introduction to programming for the iPhone,

  and the first book to cover the new iPhone SDK. Coauthored by one of the leaders

  of the iPhone development community, this book shows readers how to do

  web development and use the new iPhone SDK.

  This book takes current web developers, shows them how to develop web pages

  specifically for the iPhone, and then bootstraps them up to SDK programming.

  It also shows programmers comfortable with structured languages how to program

  specifically with the SDK. This introductory book to iPhone development

  lets developers who are new to the iPhone technology dive right in and start

  creating applications.

  The first half of the book covers web programming. Readers learn how to adapt

  existing web pages to the iPhone using unique metatags and events, as well as all

  the ins and outs of how to create new web applications just for the iPhone.

  The second half covers native iPhone programming using the brand new iPhone

  SDK. Readers will learn to use the tools which Apple provides to program,

  debug, and test iPhone applications. This book also covers the major aspects of

  the SDK, including UI creation, graphics, and the interfaces that Apple provides

  to access other iPhone apps.

  An iPhone user is as likely to be flicking...Proficiency with C, Cocoa, or

  Objective-C is helpful but not required.
