Leave it up to the iPhone development community to release an instructional iPhone application programming book before Apple even releases the official iPhone SDK to the public. Jonathan Zdziarski, a prominent iPhone developer and one of the team members that helped craft the recently released iPhone v1.1.3 jailbreak (against the team’s wishes), has already gone public with a book that delves into the inner workings of the iPhone’s software-platform.
In iPhone Open Application Development, Zdziarski explains how to use Apple’s iPhone toolkit and the open-source toolkit, with which he developed the first fully-functional third-party iPhone application, to create third-party iPhone applications for use with jailbroken iPhones. The book will teach iPhone developer-wannabes how to actually code applications in Objective-C and the iPhone API.
The book is scheduled to hit the printing presses in mid-May of this year, and will cost around $40 (although there are cheaper, PDF/e-book options available).
