I realize I have been talking quite a bit about iPhone and iPad development recently as well as mentioning new books being released to help developers learn how to program for the iPhone and the iPad. I have been reading every new book I can find to give me insight on the art of iPhone and iPad Development as well as working 3 hours each night on my own time learning the craft. Last night I successfully integrated Core Data into an existing iPhone application which was a pretty wonderful feeling of accomplishment that I can now easily apply to other applications.
Wanted to mention a new book by Apress, called Beginning iPhone Games Development, for those developers who are more interested in developing games than applications. I have it on my list of books to buy, but right now I am reading a handful of other books that are focused more on Objective-C, Xcode, Interface Builder, and iPhone Application Development. Still, the iPhone and iPad are amazing game platforms as I spend endless time playing Plants vs. Zombies over and over again with my kids.
By far the cheapest place to get books these days is on Amazon, so if you are interested in learning about iPhone Games Development, check out the book. It is new so I have to assume it has all the latest and greatest tips and techniques on creating iPhone Games using the most recent iPhone SDK.
