Start writing great iOS 6 apps for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch! Leading iOS authors Erica Sadun and Rod Strougo offer the perfect hands-on introduction to iOS development, covering everything you need to know about Objective-C, XCode, and modern iOS 6 user interface development. With hands-on sample projects and end-of-chapter exercises, this book is ideal both for self-teaching and classroom instruction. Sadun and Strougo get you started fast with Objective-C, covering basic syntax, memory management, Foundation Classes, development paradigms, blocks, threads, and more. Next, they show how to use XCode 4 and related tools to build your projects, instrument and efficiently debug your code, and deploy your apps. In Part III, they turn to interfaces, covering design, content construction, View Controllers, Views, Animations, Touch, Table Views, and even a \`taste\` of Core Data. [Learning iOS, the first book in our streamlined 2012 plan for the best-selling iOS Cookbook series, provides a solid foundation for all new iOS 6 programmers. The next volumes, focused on more advanced topics, will be The iOS6 Developer\`s Cookbook: Core Concepts and Recipes (containing fundamental recipes every iOS developer should know) and The iOS6 Developer\`s Cookbook: Advanced Topics (presenting more advanced and complex recipes). Together, these three books offer the definitive learning path for every iOS 6 developer.]
