About the Book

Apple's iPad is the ultimate consumer device for media consumption and communication. This book will help you jumpstart your iPad development. It covers topics progressively so you learn without being overwhelmed by details. Adopting the philosophy that the best way to learn is by doing, the book has numerous Try It Out sections that first show you how to build something and then explain how things work. To truly benefit from this book, you should have some background in programming and at least be familiar with object-oriented programming concepts.
