Quick & Easy iPhone Programming

Quick & Easy iPhone Programming is a no-nonsense book for beginners who want to get started with iPhone programming without getting lost in the inner workings of the iPhone SDK or the Objective-C language. Readers will rapidly move from their first "Hello World" app to programs that include the fun and friendly features that iPhone users love.

Since iPhone SDK programming uses Objective-C, the book starts with a quick overview of the language in the first chapter. Instead of doing everything by code, though, the book takes full advantage of the GUI Interface Builder for making applications quickly with a minimum of coding. Fully up-to-date for iPhone SDK 4.2, the book explains each user interface component step-by-step, and shows how each one works in a running app.
