The authors of the bestselling \u003cem\u003eBeginning iPhone 3 Development\u003c\/em\u003e are back, with the same excellent material completely updated for iOS 4 and written from the ground up using the latest version of Apple's Xcode 3. All source code has been updated to use the latest Xcode templates and current APIs, and all-new screenshots show Xcode 3 in action.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  \u003cem\u003eBeginning iPhone 4 Development\u003c\/em\u003e is a complete course in iOS 4 apps development. You’ll master techniques that work on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. We start with the basics, showing you how to download and install the tools you'll need, and how to create your first simple application. Next you’ll learn to integrate all the interface elements iOS users have come to know and love, such as buttons, switches, pickers, toolbars, and sliders. You’ll master a variety of design patterns, from the simplest single view to complex hierarchical drill-downs. The confusing art of table building will be demystified, and you’ll learn techniques to save and retrieve your data using SQLite, iPhone’s built-in database management system and Core Data, the standard for persistence that Apple brought to iOS with the release of SDK 3.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  And there’s much more! You’ll learn to draw using Quartz 2D and OpenGL ES, add multitouch gestural support (pinches and swipes) to your applications, and work with the camera, photo library, accelerometer, and built-in GPS. You’ll discover the fine points of application preferences and learn how to localize your apps for multiple languages. You'll also learn how to use the new concurrency APIs included in iOS 4, and make robust multithreaded applications using Grand Central Dispatch.   \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eThe iPhone 4 update to the best-selling and most recommended book for Cocoa touch developers   \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eWritten in an accessible, easy-to-follow style   \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eFull of useful tips and techniques to help you become an iOS pro \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003eNOTE: For iPhone 4S or iOS 5 apps development, please instead check out the next edition of this book, \u003cem\u003eBeginning iOS 5 Development\u003c\/em\u003e - now available.\u003c\/p\u003e  What you’ll learn\u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eEverything you need to know to develop your own best-selling iPhone and iPad apps \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eBest practices for optimizing your code and delivering great user experiences \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eHow to create “universal” apps for both iPhone and iPad \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  Who this book is for      \u003cp\u003e     Anyone who wants to start developing for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  You can discover more about this book, download source code, and find support forums at the book's companion site, at www.iphonedevbook.com.        \u003c\/p\u003e     Table of Contents\u003col\u003e   \u003cli\u003eWelcome to the Jungle \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eAppeasing the Tiki Gods \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eHandling Basic Interaction \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eMore User Interface Fun \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eAutorotation and Autosizing \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eMultiview Applications \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eTab Bars and Pickers \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eIntroduction to Table Views \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eNavigation Controllers and Table Views \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eiPad Considerations \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eApplication Settings and User Defaults \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eBasic Data Persistence \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eGrand Central Dispatch, Background Processing, and You \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eDrawing with Quartz and OpenGL \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eTaps, Touches, and Gestures \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eWhere Am I?
