iPhone App Development: The Missing Manual: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "iPhone App Development: The Missing Manual" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Introduction By the time you read this, the number applications on the App Store will have crossed the 100,000 mark. Chances are that if you come up with an idea for an app, its already on the Store and in abundance. In order to catch users interest, youll have to differentiate yours. Most developers seem to take the easy route by simply lowering their price. The problem is that its so easy to do that everybody can do it. And if they do, youve gained nothing. On the contrary, youve lost an income that could possibly motivate you to keep improving and updating your app and thereby sustain your name as a reliable developer users can trust their investment to. If you choose to take the difficult route, however, and differentiate on quality--the route that not everybody can take--youll not only become a better developer but also earn the respect from other developers and users wholl be willing to spend real time and money on your app. The ten authors of this book have all released successful apps and can testify to how going that extra mile, or ten, has paid off in many aspects of their lives as iPhone developers. By reading their takes on how to make an app stand out from the rest, youll gain some of the inspiration and insight that could make your app the one in its category that users will want.

About the Author

Craig Hockenberry has been designing award-winning software for over 30 years. He is currently a principal at the Iconfactory, a company that has been changing the face of the computers since 1996. Their work includes the design and production of icons for Microsoft, Apple, Adobe, and other leading software companies.

Craig almost didnt buy an iPhone But a mere five minutes at his local Apple - photo 2

Craig almost didn't buy an iPhone. But a mere five minutes at his local Apple store convinced him that he was holding the future in his hands. Shortly thereafter, curiosity led to a hacked iPhone where he could run his own applications. Apple's introduction of the App Store let Craig and his fellow factory workers share that software with the rest of the world.

Since those early days, the Iconfactory (www.iconfactory.com) has released many groundbreaking and successful titles for the iPhone, including Twitterrific, Frenzic, Ramp Champ, and Pickin' Time. The company has also contributed design work to many other leading apps.

Craig loves writing and hopes you will learn to share his fascination with BIG LETTERS.

Acknowledgements

First, I must thank my fellow factory workers for allowing me the time to write this book. Dave, Ged, Corey, Talos, Cheryl, Kate, Sean, David, Louie, Anthony, Mindy, and Travis, I feel honored to have you all as colleagues.

I also want to thank Lucas Newman for providing the inspiration with Lights Off and for teaching me how to break out of jail. All the talented people at Apple deserve recognition, too. Without their hard work, none of this would be happening.

The enthusiasm of my good friends, Kim and Mirella Poindexter, got me excited about the project and Jeffrey Zeldman deserves credit for explaining why seven long months of hard labor was a good idea. Along the way, Matt Drance and Tina Spargo kept me honest and taught me new things. The erudite Nan Barber made me look smarter than I really am.

Of course, none of this would have happened without Bill and Mary Jay Hockenberry, who let me be creative even if it meant a trip to the emergency room. Thanks to my brother Kevin and sister-in-law Chris, for the constant reminder that normal people use software. And last, but in no way least, heartfelt gratitude goes to Lauren Mayes for her love, opinions, sense of humor and interpretive dance.

The Missing Manual Series

Missing Manuals are witty, superbly written guides to computer products that don't come with printed manuals (which is just about all of them). Each book features a handcrafted index; cross-references to specific pages (not just chapters); and RepKover, a detached-spine binding that lets the book lie perfectly flat without the assistance of weights or cinder blocks.
