For the beginning iPhone developer, "I understand how to do that" is a nice statement...

"I''ve done that" is much better.

Based on Big Nerd Ranch''s popular "Beginning iPhone Bootcamp," iPhone Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch
Guide leads beginners through the essential facets of iPhone application development. After completing
the guide, readers will have the confidence to take on iPhone projects of their own. The confidence
comes from the guide's emphasis on building applications while learning the necessary programming
concepts.

Programmers who are new to the platform will appreciate the guide's learn-while-doing approach. Each
chapter introduces or further develops an application that's been carefully designed and tested to
teach concepts and provide real experience. Some apps are small stubs completed in a chapter. Others
span chapters and offer practice working with complex apps and advanced tools like Xcode, Interface
Builder, and Instruments.

Joe Conway is the senior iPhone instructor at the Big Nerd Ranch and has been consulting on the iPhone

Cocoa code since the dawn of OS X. Joe wrote the materials for the exceptionally popular Big Nerd Ranch
iPhone Bootcamp, which eventually evolved into this book.

Aaron Hillegass is the founder of Big Nerd Ranch and the developer of the very popular Campwhere iPhone
app. A former employee at NeXT and Apple, he has twenty years experience with Objective-C and Cocoa.
