iOS 5 by Tutorials: Volume 1 (2nd Edition)

This is Volume 1 of a 2-Volume book. iOS 5 was one of the biggest upgrades to iOS so far, and has a ton of awesome features that you'll definitely want to start using in your apps. The only problem is, there's not a ton of documentation or sample code on the APIs, so they're often quite hard to learn! This is where iOS 5 By Tutorials comes in! The goal of the book is to help intermediate and advanced iOS developers get up-to-speed with the APIs introduced in iOS 5 in the quickest and easiest way - via tutorials! Updated for iOS 6. This new second edition is fully up-to-date with iOS 6 and Xcode 4.5. Although the book focuses on APIs introduced in iOS 5, the chapters have been updated to work on iOS 6, use Modern Objective C syntax, and more. This book is for intermediate or advanced iOS developers, who already know the basics of iOS development but want to upgrade their skills to iOS 5. iOS 5 by Tutorials Volume 1 covers the following APIs: ARC : Learn how to successfully migrate to ARC - and worry a lot less about memory management. Storyboards : Learn how to make your apps more quickly with the new Storyboards feature. iCloud : Learn how to store your app's data in the cloud and share across devices. GLKit : Learn how to use GLKit to make OpenGL ES 2.0 programming much easier. UIKit Customization : Learn how to completely customize the look and feel of your apps. The iOS Tutorial Team takes pride in making sure each tutorial we write holds to the highest standards of quality. We want our tutorials to be well written, easy to follow, and fun. And we don't want to just skim the surface of a subject - we want to really dig into it, so you can truly understand how it works and apply the knowledge directly in your own apps. By the time you're finished reading this book, your skills will be completely up to date with iOS 5, and you'll be ready to use these new technologies right away in your apps!
