Book Review: iPhone Open Application Development
NerveGas, a member of the iPhone Dev Team has been working on a book through O’Reilly’s online bookstore, safari.com.
Today he released it on Safari.com Rough Cuts. There are options to buy the book in PDF format or to pre-order a paper copy (to be released in May ‘08), or both. If you sign up with Safari.com you can read it online for free.
I haven’t gotten around to reading the whole thing yet; but it looks promising. Ever since I got my iPhone I have been involved in the development community. Erica of iphonedevdocs.com had put together the best collection of info on the frameworks used to develop apps for the iPhone as well as a nice list of books to use for further research. The books she recommended were for Cocoa Programming on the Mac OS. This book focuses on developing for the iPhone only. I hope after the final release of this book, I won’t need books, but I still want to get it when it comes out.

EDIT: I was contacted by NerveGas himself and have removed the link I was given to the pirated copy of his book. I meant no harm in posting the link as I was given it by someone else in the IRC channels last night.

What kind of an ass takes someone else’s hard work and helps pirate it all over the net, then joins IRC chatrooms and publishes the URL all over the place. I am just grateful there are many honest people out there who will purchase the book. You, on the other hand, are a scumbag.

Thank you for removing it. I will know by Monday who’s bought copies of the book. If you really are not the person who put it up, then please be a part of the solution and let me know who you talked to, so we can find him and bill HIS credit card for the number of copies downloaded.

NerveGas you’re the one who is a scum bag, a complete pile of dirt, self righteous prick, with no respect to others. It’s because of the filth like you some countries suffer under dictators who punish all those, who have opinions different than their own. Your book will not sell, not because someone published it on the net, but because plain and simple PEOPLE DON’T LIKE YOU and vast majority would never purchase anything from you, asshole. DIE

Apollon, your complements aren’t going to get you un-glined. Stop whining like a girl and just find another IRC server to n00b out on.
