Every so often I have a really cool book to review, today’s book is Beginning iPhone 4 Development for iOS 4 by apress. Its a comprehensive guide and manual for developing your very own iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch apps, all for $20. Its designed as an in depth look at the iOS SDK, and will hopefully teach you all the basics and the routes needed to begin developing your very own apps. I personally like to develop things for the Mac, I have previously reviewed Learn Mac Programming With Cocca before on this site which taught me how to work in the Mac environment, this book isn’t to big of a leap into the world of iOS devices.

I like reading books, especially relating to topics I love. Thankfully the Macintosh community have some of the best library of books to read. This post is going to summarise some of my favourite and well received books relating to the Mac community.

For a slight change I am going to review Beginning Mac Programming: Develop with Objective-C and Cocoa by Pragmatic Bookshelf. Over the last couple of weeks I have been reading through this book, trying out the methods and tutorials, as a result I now know a bit about programming for the Mac. The book is designed to teach you the basics about programming for the Mac and show you pointers to get yourself start on what is a long journey on learn how to program. Within this post i’ll go over the main topics of the book, explain the pro’s and con’s and hopefully give you a good idea about the book itself.

I haven’t done a book review on this blog so I thought I would give one a shot. I have just received a brand new copy of Switching To A Mac, A Portable Guide published by Wiley and written by Paul McFedries. Its a great little book which I have been reading over the last couple of days. If you want to pick up a copy the best place is Amazon where you can get a copy nice and cheap.
