The Core iOS Developer's Cookbook, 5 edition

Completely updated for iOS 7 and Xcode 5

This book brings together reliable, proven solutions for the heart of day-to-day iOS 7 development. Renowned iOS programming expert Erica Sadun and top iOS developer Rich Wardwell cover all you need to create successful iOS 7 mobile apps with standard APIs and interface elements and take full advantage of iOS 7 graphics, touches, and views.

As in all of Sadun’s iOS bestsellers, The Core iOS Developer’s Cookbook translates modern best practices into working code, distilling key concepts into concise recipes you can easily understand and apply in your own projects. This isn’t just cut-and-paste; using examples, Sadun and Wardwell fully explain both the “how” and “why” of effective iOS 7 development.

All code is fully revised and extensively tested to reflect new iOS 7 features and device capabilities.
