Expectations and Technical Requirements
This isn’t a book for iOS beginners. We’re going to dive deep into Xcode’s build system, the Objective-C runtime, shell scripts, and more. I recommend starting with these books as prerequisite material:
-
iOS SDK Development [AD12], by Chris Adamson and Bill Dudney
-
iOS Recipes: Tips and Tricks for Awesome iPhone and iPad Apps [WD11], by Paul Warren and Matt Drance
-
Core Data: Apple’s API for Persisting Data on Mac OS X [Zar12], by Marcus Zarra
I assume you’ve been through Apple’s introductory material, know about how view controllers and memory-management work, and know how to build your own application in the Xcode GUI. We’ll be working with at least Xcode 4.6 and iOS 6.1.
Good luck and happy bug-hunting! ...
