Which of the books you read for learning iOS would you recommend?
- kleinsch 16y agoI've tried a couple of the books. First used Beginning iPhone Development, from Apress, then looked at some others in a bookstore. The problem I found with all of them is that they teach you a few specific things to accomplish common tasks (clickable button, lay out data in a table, etc) but once you want to get more complicated, you're digging into Apple's documentation to figure out how to do it. Once I got to that point, I realized that Apple's documentation is actually pretty good, so I've given up on the books and started just using Apple's stuff. Once you get used to the official documentation, when you want to go back for more details you're going to the master source that has all the information, not just a book chapter with some high points. You have to be a registered iOS developer to have access, but if you want to release to the App Store you're going to have to anyway.
