Sharp, Maurice2014
Book
This book offers the perfect hands-on introduction to iOS development, covering everything your students need to know about Objective-C, XCode, and modern iOS user interface development. With sample projects and end-of-chapter exercises, this book is ideal for classroom instruction. The authors get 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 and related tools to build projects, instrument and efficiently debug code, and deploy apps. In the next part, hey turn to interfaces, covering design, content construction, View Controllers, Views, Animations, Touch, Table Views, and even a taste of Core Data.
