Ios 7 Programming Fundamentals

If you{u2019}re getting started with iOS development, or want a firmer grasp of the basics, this practical guide provides a clear view of its fundamental building blocks{u2014}Objective-C, Xcode, and Cocoa Touch. You{u2019}ll learn object-oriented concepts, understand how to use Apple{u2019}s development tools, and discover how Cocoa provides the underlying functionality iOS apps need to have. Dozens of example projects are available at GitHub. Once you master the fundamentals, you{u2019}ll be ready to tackle the details of iOS app development with author Matt Neuburg{u2019}s companion guide Programming iOS 7. Explore the C language to learn how Objective-C works Learn how instances are created, and why they{u2019}re so important Tour the lifecycle of an Xcode project, from inception to App Store Discover how to build interfaces with nibs and the nib editor Explore Cocoa{u2019}s use of Objective-C linguistic features Use Cocoa{u2019}s event-driven model and major design patterns Learn the role of accessors, key-value coding, and properties Understand the power of ARC-based object memory management Send messages and data between Cocoa objects.

Get a solid grounding in all the fundamentals of Cocoa Touch, and avoid problems during iPhone and iPad app development. With this revised and expanded edition, you'll dig into Cocoa and learn how to work effectively with Objective-C and Xcode. This book covers iOS 6 in a rigorous, orderly fashion--ideal whether you're approaching iOS for the first time or need a reference to bolster existing skills. Learn about features introduced with iOS 6, including Objective-C language advances, autosynthesis, autolayout, new view controller rotation rules, unwind segues, state restoration, styled text, and collection views. Learn Objective-C language details and object-oriented programming concepts Understand the anatomy of an Xcode project and all the stages of its lifecycle Grasp key Cocoa concepts such as relationships between classes, receiving events, and model-view-controller architecture Learn how views and layers are managed, drawn, composited, and animated Become familiar with view controllers and their relationships, along with nib and storyboard management Fully explore all basic interface objects such as scroll views, table views, and controls Delve into Cocoa frameworks for sound, video, sensors, maps, and other features Touch on advanced topics such as threading and networking
