I ordered this item back in July, Its now August 29 and I have not received it. Don't know where it is? Not enough Tracking information. I am hoping that I will get it in another week. If not I will notify Amazon and cancel this order for a refund.
 Great Book August 20, 2010
Michael Parsons
It's a great back with an easy read. The author explains things very well.
Do note that you do need a slight background in programming.

This book should have been a pamphlet, it overexplains things to the extent that you feel you are wasting your time, it gives you very little information, I am very disjointed with my purchase of this book, there are other books out there that are MUCH better than this, this is by far the worst book I have EVER read. It shows you how to create minimal features. This book seems that it was written for the 3rd grade level.
Good book, easy to understand May 17, 2010

Just to give a quick review. I have a development background but no knowledge of iPhone SDK and Obj-C. This book was very helpful. It explained every step and had graphics to show details. You can also download the sample code. I recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn more about iPhone programming. My only criticism is that I don't think a "dummy" can really pick up this book and understand it. I think that a techie background helps. Happy Programming!

I have gotten through the first 7 chapters of this book. I am going to switch to something else. I just feel like it is taking so long to actually accomplish anything. And from looking some of the intro videos from Apple, the author seems to be going the long way around the barn for everything. Here is what I want from an development book.
1) Outline the structure of what you are going to do
2) Fill in the appropriate code with explanations
3) Run the code
- Then repeat this process with expansions and improvements.
Here is the format of this book
1) Blab on forever about concepts, inserting lame jokes
2) Code things without explanation, just saying, we will explain why later
3) Go back and try to explain things after it is coded
4) Randomly switch topics like a stream of consciousness. Oh, why don't we stop here and worry about an icon....
I did not realize how bad I had it until I watched an apple developer conference video where the speaker demonstrated the power of Cocoa and Interface Builder to put together an application in an hour that does more than what I have gotten so far out of 7 chapters.
I just don't trust that this author is really sharing from his vast understanding of the best way to get things done.
