Testimonials
To quote a friend of mine, "being a software developer is a lifelong learning experience." That is so true. In the last 2 years I've had to wrap my head around so many technologies and languages, some mainstream and some not, and I've spent countless hours trying to learn the fundamentals. Since purchasing a personal Safari subscription, I've experienced some of my best productivity and have been more effective supporting my team. The books are current, by experts, and the reader on the webpage is pretty decent too. This is probably the best value for money I've ever spent for a technology education resource.

Building iPhone Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
It's a fact - if you know HTML, CSS and JavaScript, you already have the tools you need to develop your own iPhone apps!
You can design and build apps for the iPhone and iPod Touch with existing open source web technologies without using Objective-C or Cocoa. Mobile apps that work on multiple platforms are the wave of the future. Learn about these new technologies from a recognized expert by watching this recorded webcast provided by Safari Books Online!
You will learn to convert your product into a native iPhone app using the free PhoneGap framework. Releasing your product as a web app first will help you find, fix and test bugs much faster than if you went straight to the App Store with a product built with Apple's tools.
Author Jonathan Stark shows you how to:
Build iPhone apps with tools you already know how to use
Learn how to make an existing website look and behave like an iPhone app
Add native-looking animations to your web app using jQTouch
Take advantage of client-side data storage with apps that run even when the iPhone is offline
Hook into advanced iPhone features - including the accelerometer, geolocation and vibration - with JavaScript
Submit your applications to the App Store with Xcode
The future of mobile development is clearly web technologies like CSS, HTML and JavaScript. Leverage your existing web development skills to build native iPhone applications using these technologies.
