Review by Lim Boon Tiong for Beginning iPhone SDK Programming with Objective-C (Wrox Programmer to Programmer)

I read a few iPhone SDK programming books and never get to learn much because they were hard to understand for a newbie like me. To make matter worst, I am not able to develop real world applications without resorting to read and learn the video samples from Apple and other SDK sites.
I am glad that I found this book simply because it is very easy to follow. I didn’t struggle as much compared to reading other iPhone dev books. The walkthrough exercises were great! The author go straight to the point and I don’t have to read tons of unnecessary info before starting on the exercises. The walkthrough exercises help me to understand the concept and most importantly, I am able to develop different kinds of practical iPhone applications upon completion of each chapter. This book also covers a wide range of different topics ranging from MultiTouch, database access, debugging and simple animations.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to jump right into the iPhone programming bandwagon but don’t have a clue about Objective C or the iPhone SDK.
Thumbs up !!!

Got this book a few days ago and read through the first 60 pages or so. First, there are numerous examples misspellings and bad grammar in the book. These are things the author and editor should have caught. Second, the instructions and screenshots in several places are out of date. It took several minutes of hunting around simply to find some things because the instructions are inaccurate. Finally, the first HelloWorld example application doesn’t run. It keeps crashing with an error of “invalid sender”.
I’m moving on to other iPhone developer resources. Save your money, skip this book.

This book, despite its late publication date, is out of date!
It’s written for 3.0 instead of 3.2.x.
I down loaded there source code for the first chapter. It consisted of a completely empty project.
No added code, events or actions.
I wish I could return it, but I ordered the Kindle version.
