Personally I think the iPhone is an amazing phone and a really cool gaming machine. Not only do I use the iPhone to run my businesses, but the kids love playing the games, which is a real treasure to keep them busy on long car rides :)
As a hobby, I am learning how to develop applications on the iPhone. Various iPhone development books and resources are just being made available now that Apple has softened its NDA.
For those interested in developing iPhone applications or games, you may want to check out The iPhone Developer's Cookbook: Building Applications with the iPhone SDK.
The description is as follows:
“The iPhone and iPod touch aren’t just attracting millions of new users; their breakthrough development platform enables programmers to build tomorrow’s killer applications. If you’re getting started with iPhone programming, this book brings together tested, ready-to-use code for hundreds of the challenges you’re most likely to encounter. Use this fully documented, easy-to-customize code to get productive fast—and focus your time on the specifics of your application, not boilerplate tasks.
Leading iPhone developer Erica Sadun begins by exploring the iPhone delivery platform and SDK, helping you set up your development environment, and showing how iPhone applications are constructed. Next, she offers single-task recipes for the full spectrum of iPhone/iPod touch programming jobs:
- Utilize views and tables
- Organize interface elements
- Alert and respond to users
- Access the Address Book (people), Core Location (places), and Sensors (things)
- Connect to the Internet and Web services
- Display media content
- Create secure Keychain entries
- And much more”
You can check it out on Amazon.
