iOS 5 is one of the biggest upgrades to iOS so far, and has a ton of awesome features that you’ll definitely want to start using in your apps. The only problem is, there’s not a ton of documentation or sample code on the new APIs, so they’re often quite hard to learn!
This is where iOS 5 By Tutorials comes in! The goal of the book is to help intermediate and advanced iOS developers get up-to-speed with the new iOS 5 APIs in the quickest and easiest way – via tutorials!
The iOS Tutorial Team takes pride in making sure each tutorial we write holds to the highest standards of quality. We want our tutorials to be well written, easy to follow, and fun. And we don’t want to just skim the surface of a subject – we want to really dig into it, so you can truly understand how it works and apply the knowledge directly in your own apps.
If you’ve enjoyed the tutorials we’ve written here in the past, you’re in for a treat. The tutorials we’ve written for this book are some of our best yet – and this book contains detailed technical knowledge you simply won’t be able to find anywhere else.
