Building "My iOS Dev Bible" with iBooks Author
I've been ready and following the Stanford University class on iOS developement with iTunes U.app and started to build a reference called "My iOS Dev Bible" with Apple's iBooks Author. What a wonderful piece of software.
This electronic book will contain essential things about various subjects: Objective-C, Xcode, Interface Builder, UIKit, etc. I plan to make the book available for download as soon as the content is more than good enough.
Great learning resources for iOS developers
Friday, April 15, 2011 at 10:22 | tagged iphonedev, learning, podcast, references Want to learn about object-oriented programming, iOS development and the like? Take a look at the free stuff on iTunes Podcasts and iTunes U. It is free! Many of these podcasts aren't new but they are still relevant to the field. Anyone can learn so much by listening to them with their iPad or on their Apple TV. Here is a non-exhaustive list of the the things you can find. Am I missing something? Post a comment so I'll update my post."Free screencasts on practical iPhone development tips and tricks."

MyDevNotes - for beginners
Sunday, December 19, 2010 at 12:09 | tagged learning, programming, references When I first started to learn iOS app development and design, I started a little web site with all my dev notes. You can find it here: http://www.tinysofty.com/MyDevNotes/Start_Here.html. For beginners only. I might redesign this web site sometime in the future.

Dr Touch Top 10, I'm at #9!!!
Friday, October 1, 2010 at 8:52 | tagged community, iphonedev, references This is cool. According to Dr Touch web site: http://www.drobnik.com/touch/, if you want to spice up your Cocoa knowledge, pay a visit to one (or all) of his top 10 sites. Where does my blog stand in the list? Number 9. I'm proud.
Understanding
Thursday, March 26, 2009 at 17:13 | tagged books, learning, references Sometimes, for me at least, just reading books is not enough to understand a concept. That is why we have exercises in text book to test and get used to new concepts. But, for me, writing about what I've just read is another way that helps me to understand. Can you say "exorcising" things too much difficult to understand on the first reading pass ?
This is why I maintain a web site called MyDevNotes.
Take a look at it... maybe you'll learn something just... by reading it!
A new book arrived...
Thursday, March 26, 2009 at 7:34 | tagged books, references Yesterday, I received my new book "Beginning iPhone Development - Exploring the iPhone SDK" by Dave Mark & Jeff LaMarche.
After reading a lot of different things about programming and building iPhone applications since the end of January (see bibliography), this book is the one that will fill in the blanks in my head.
First, the book take the form of a course with a very smooth way, not too intimidating. There a many illustrations that help to gasp the key concepts that are introduced.
Second: Interface Builder. Because of this book, I'm finally starting to get it. Alone, this is worth the price of the book.
So, so far I love this book. One of the best.
Continuing my reading... Stay tuned.
My Dev Notes updates
Tuesday, March 3, 2009 at 16:05 | tagged references Yesterday, I've updated my dev notes to reflect my current knowledge!
Done reading this one
Friday, February 27, 2009 at 15:37 | tagged development, programming, references, xcode OK, I'm done reading Apple's "iPhone Development Guide". Good introduction to the development environment (Xcode), running applications, using the iPhone simulator, managing devices, tuning applications. There is also a section on involving external testers so they can get my application for testing on their devices. Not there yey though!
