Certain technologies bring out everyone’s hidden geek, and iPhone did the moment it was released. Even though Apple created iPhone as a closed device, tens of thousands of developers bought them with the express purpose of designing and running third-party software. In this clear and concise book, veteran hacker Jonathan Zdziarski — one of the original hackers of the iPhone — explains the iPhone’s native environment and how you can build software for this device using its Objective-C, C, and C++ development frameworks.

What do you think about the Microsoft “I’m PC” commercials?
Years ago I had one of those all-in-one apple computers. I started using a PC because most of my development software was only PC compatible. I was thinking about getting a new laptop, any laptop and after watching the new Microsoft commercials, I ran out and got the MAC Book Pro and loving it! Now I use my old PC Laptop as a stand for my MAC Book Pro.
