About the Author
Ben Britten Smith has been writing software on platforms for 15 years. Most notably he was given an Academy Awardf or Technical Achievement for his feature film work with Mac-based suspended camera control systems. Lately he has switched his efforts from the big screen to the small screen.

His first iPhone game, SnowDude, was published to the App Store a few months after the SDK became available.Since then he has written a dozen apps for various clients including the games: Snowferno, the award winning Mole – A quest for the Terracore Gem, and the Gambook Adventures series of games. Ben lives in Melbourne, Australia with his wife Leonie and their pet bunnies.

Scott Penberthy began coding shortly after the Apple II was launched in the 70’s. His addiction to writing software fully bloomed with a scholarship to MIT, where he wrote a multiplayer online game that brought his school’s antique computer to its knees. After graduating, Scott took a job at IBM Research, the birthplace of IBM’s web products and services. After running up the corporate ladder in the 90’s building massive web sites, he jettisoned in 2005 to return to his true love of coding. Now a successful entrepreneur, Scott runs an app studio in New York City.

Beginning Smartphone Web Development

May 31, 2010 By 3 Comments
Beginning Smartphone Web Development

Product Description
Today’s Web 2.0 applications ( and Twitter) go far beyond the confines of the desktop and are widely used on mobile devices. The mobile Web has become incredibly popular given the success of the iPhone and BlackBerry, the importance of Mobile, and the emergence of Palm Pre (and its webOS platform). At Apress, we are fortunate to have Gail Frederick of the well-known training site Learn the Mobile Web offer her expert advice in Beginning Smartphone Web Development. In this book, Gail teaches the web standards and fundamentals specific to smartphones and other feature-driven mobile phones and devices.

  • Shows you how to build interactive mobile web sites using web technologies optimized for browsers in smartphones
  • Details markup fundamentals, design principles, content adaptation, usability, and interoperability
  • Explores cross-platform standards and best practices for the mobile Web authored by the W3C, dotMobi, and similar organizations
  • Dives deeps into the feature sets of the most popular mobile browsers, including WebKit, Chrome, Palm Pre webOS, IE, Opera Mobile, and Skyfire

By the end of this book, you’ll have the training, tools, and techniques for creating robust mobile web experiences on any of these platforms for your favorite smartphone or other mobile device.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Build interactive mobile web pages that comply with industry standards and best practices.
  • Develop web sites using the markup languages of the mobile Web: XHTML-MP, Wireless CSS, and WML.
  • Use Mobile JavaScript and Ajax for client-side web interactivity.
  • Adapt the syntax and design of mobile web pages to target smartphone models.
  • Enhance mobile web pages to target advanced features of smartphone browsers.
  • Validate and compress mobile markup to optimize for network transmission and browser performance.
  • Simulate smartphone browsers using emulators and development tools.

Who is this book for?
Mobile application developers and their managers need to learn mobile web technologies because it’s in their economic interest. Time-to-market and opportunity costs are significantly lower for web-based mobile applications than for native ones.

Desktop web developers at software companies and IT departments of non-technology businesses need to learn mobile web technologies to meet the demands of managers who will soon be asking them to “mobilize this web site.” These developers will want to do the minimum work possible to maximize the compatibility of their mobile web sites. The standards-based approach advocated in this book will allow them to build gracefully adaptive and portable mobile web experiences that perform well across mobile browser platforms.

About the Author
Gail Rahn Frederick is an expert web developer and software architect in the mobile industry. Her products target 500+ device models and have been deployed at 10+ mobile operators in North America and Europe.

Learn Cocoa on the Mac

May 23, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Apress.Learn.Cocoa.on.the.Mac.Feb.2010

Product Description
The Cocoa frameworks are some of the most powerful frameworks for creating native desktop applications available on any platform today, and Apple gives them away, along with the Xcode development environment, for free! However, for a first-time Mac developer, just firing up Xcode and starting to browse the documentation can be a daunting task. The Objective- class reference documentation alone would fill thousands of printed pages, not to mention all the other tutorials and guides included with Xcode. Where do you start? Which classes are you going to need to use? How do you use Xcode and the of the tools?

This book answers these questions and more, helping you find your way through the jungle of classes, tools, and new concepts so that you can get started on the next great X application today. Jack Nutting is your guide through this forest; he’s lived here for years, and he’ll show you which boulder to push, which vine to chop, and which stream to float across in order to make it through. You will learn not only how to use the components of this rich framework, but also which of them fit together, and why.

Jack Nutting’s approach, combining pragmatic problem-solving with a deep respect for the underlying philosophies contained within Cocoa, stems from years of experience using these frameworks. He’ll show you which parts of your application require you to jump in and code a solution, and which parts are best served by letting Cocoa take you where it wants you to go. The path over what looks like a mountain of components and APIs has never been more thoroughly prepared for your travels. With Jack’s guidance, the steep learning curve becomes a pleasurable adventure. There is still much work for the uninitiated, but by the time you’re done, you will be well on your way to becoming a Cocoa Master.

* Begin to really get to grips with the full Cocoa toolset—practical, hands-on learning
* Become familiar with the core concepts at the heart of every Cocoa application
* See which parts of the SDK overlap with the Mac OS X development tools so you can explore both Mac and development
* Packed full of goodness and enthusiasm for the Cocoa frameworks from a developer perspective

What you’ll learn
* How to actually make your own Cocoa applications—this is much more than just a quick introduction to Cocoa!
* Which classes, of the dozens included in Cocoa, are truly central to Cocoa development
* How to best use MVC architecture concepts in a Cocoa application
* How the various pieces of the Cocoa frameworks fit with each other and into the MVC architecture
* Which parts of Cocoa truly enable “visual programming”, letting you reap the benefits of proven, reusable code libraries that Apple gives you for free
* How to recognize recurring design patterns used throughout Cocoa, and put them to proper use in your own code
* How to approach Cocoa from different programming environments
* How to use the facilities provided in Leopard to create software that distributes itself automatically among all available CPUs, improving the user experience for your users.

Who is this book for?
Anyone with basic understanding of -oriented programming who wants to try out Mac OS X application programming, as well as iPhone developers who want to extend their knowledge of Cocoa Touch to include the Mac-specific technologies included with Cocoa.
