Interested in iPhone development? Want to learn more? Whether you’re a self-taught iPhone development genius or have just made your way through the pages of Beginning iPhone 3 Development, we have the perfect book for you.

More iPhone 3 Development: Tackling iPhone SDK 3 digs deeper into Apple’s latest SDK. Best-selling authors Dave Mark and Jeff LaMarche explain concepts as only they can, covering topics like Core Data, peer-to-peer networking using GameKit and network streams, working with data from the web, MapKit, in-application e-mail, and more. All the concepts and APIs are clearly presented with code snippets you can customize and use, as you like, in your own apps.

If you are going to write a professional iPhone app, you’ll want to get your arms around Core Data, and there’s no better place to do so than in the pages of this book. The book continues right where Beginning iPhone 3 Development left off with a series of chapters devoted to Core Data, the standard for persistence that Apple introduced to iPhone with SDK 3. Jeff and Dave carefully step through each of the Core Data concepts and show you techniques and tips specifically for writing larger applications―offering a breadth of coverage you won't find anywhere else.

The Core Data coverage alone is worth the price of admission. But there's so much more. This book covers a variety of networking mechanisms, from GameKit’s relatively simple BlueTooth peer-to-peer model, to the addition of Bonjour discovery and network streams, through the complexity of accessing files via the web. Dave and Jeff will also take you through coverage of concurrent programming and some advanced techniques for debugging your applications.

Whether you are a relative newcomer to iPhone development or an old hand looking to expand your horizons, there’s something for everyone in More iPhone 3 Development.

Note: A few of the apps in this book demonstrate technologies not yet supported by the simulator. To run them on your iPhone or iPod touch, you'll need to join one of Apple's paid iPhone developer programs.

Fantastic next step in the series - You need this!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 22, 2010

Verified Purchase

Like others, I was eagerly awaiting this book. I cut my teeth on Beginning iPhone 3 Development: Exploring the iPhone SDK by these guys so I knew what I was *expecting* to get - I just hoped they would deliver. I was especially anxious to get the information about Core Data. I had a project in mind that would need to track different kinds of data and their relationships and I knew that Core Data was the way to go. I was hoping Jeff and Mark would help me crack it like they did with iPhone programming in general.

Epic Success!

They devote 7 chapters to Core Data and pretty much handle everything you need to know. What's great is that they build slowly on the topics and concepts. Core Data is a vast and powerful framework and tackling the official documentation is like drinking from a firehose. Dave and Mark, regulate the flow so that you can consume it in little gulps instead of drowning in it.

Like most programming books, they define a project and develop it with additional features and such. The problem with most programming books is that if the project you want to do doesn't line up with the kind of project they are doing, you have to do a lot of reading between the lines. I was a little concerned with that happening with this book but it's really not an issue. Granted, I'm not making a Hero database but the concepts are presented clearly enough and generically enough that they can easily be used for other things. In fact, they went to great lengths to describe the design and implementation of generic classes that can be used for lots of other things.

I use both of their iPhone books almost like reference books. Whenever I need to do something, I'm pretty sure I can find out how to do it by looking back through the projects and finding something similar that I can adapt to what I need.

I have to admit, I haven't gotten past the Core Data chapters as that's what I need for my current project. I have skimmed the other chapters however and they all look to be of the same calibre and usefullness.

I can't say enough good things about this book. It really makes iPhone programming approachable for mere mortals,not just Heros!

I am huge fan of Apress and both of the authors who contributed to this book. I read" Beginning iPhone 3 Development" which is a reference I go to regularly. All that being said I must say this. I am not trying to be the one person who rates a book poorly without a valid reason. I was very interested in this book because of the Core Data section. While working through the book I noticed numerous bugs and contacted the author. I did get a response which said they had been having numerous problems. I was told that I would get a response and the error would be fixed. Well it is months later, have not received a follow up email (I understand people are busy but I did send a quick follow up with no response), have tested the updated code and the bugs are not fixed and the support site has numerous comments about bugs with responses. So to make a long story short I really don't feel comfortable with Core Data. I did learn a lot about it but I would definately feel uncomfortable implementing it in an app. The second half of the book is great and goes over numerous parts of the SDK. Again I really love Apress but find it disappointing that the section on Core Data had problems and the development community has been left without a solution. If you are looking for a book on Core Data I would not recommend this book. If you are interested in exploring parts of the SDK that are covered in Part II, I highly recommend this book.

The aPress iPhone 3 Dev book series is fantastic

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 10, 2010

Verified Purchase

This is the 3rd book that I have purchased from the Dave Mark & Jeff LaMarche series. One of the best series. If you are serious about wanting to develop for the iOS platform, these books are high value as instructional tools *and* references. Combine it with a book on Cocoa Programming (Hillegass for example) and you should be off to the races.

Don't forget to use the associated website for even more value.

And always great service, timely delivery, and competitive pricing from Amazon.

Very helpful, except for doing animations

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 31, 2010

Verified Purchase

Together with Beginning iPhone 3 Development, this book provides an easy to use and comprehensive guide to iPhone programming. It walks you through every step you need to take, which would be very good for a beginner (but can get repetitive towards the end). I also think a comprehensive section on animations is sorely lacking.

Finally An Extensive Review of Core Data!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 14, 2010

Verified Purchase

If you want to do core data on the iPhone or iPad, this is the book to have. This book devotes a number of chapters on core data and how to create an actual application. It's treatment of core data alone, makes it worth the price.

This book is great, it contains loads of information on working the Apples SDK. I would also recommend getting the Beginning iPhone 3 Development second edition. They are A+ books.

Mr. Jeff & Mr. Dave teach iPhone programming like class-room teachers. Each and every chapter is awesome and clearly explained. One of the best books for the beginers.

Superb, Once Again

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 15, 2010

Verified Purchase

As with their previous book, Dave and Jeff continue on with the fun, enjoyable style of writing that really takes the drag out of studying such a lot of information.

Well presented with clear examples and useful notes on pitfalls etc...

As a relative new-comer to iPhone development, from a development background on other platforms, I found this refreshing and enjoyable as well as deep and informative.

I can thoroughly recommend this and the others in the series.

Another Good Book from Apress

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 6, 2010

Verified Purchase

I have bought several of the iphone books from Apress all from different authors, but all of them have been useful guides and references. I bought this book primarily for the communications section that deals with communicating with other iphones. Although I mainly use the apple guideline documents during development I do find the Apress books handy in the way that they give a real world example of the problems and solutions. Some of these examples like most books do work on the most common implementations but you can certainly use the book to give you ideas on how to approach subjects in your code.

A good book full of handy hints and tips as well as good explanations. I'd say its a worth while read for both hobbyists and professionals alike.
