On this page, you will find a collection of iPhone development ressources such as links to important or useful websites, recommendet books, code fragments and so on. Everybody is invited to send me more information, using the form at the end of this site. Due to the fact, that I have developed my own iPhone application, I will not support jailbreaking with this website.

| Must read: | ||
![]() Programming in Objective-C 2.0 | You need to understand Objective-C. The most recent version is 2.0. | |
![]() Beginning iPhone development | This book is a good starting point for understanding iPhone development. It contains good examples for using Autorotation, Multiview application, Tab bars and Pickers, Navigation controllers. It even covers sqlite3 a bit. | |
![]() iPhone SDK Programming | This is a good addition to the one above. It focues more on the various Cocoa classes. | |
![]() iPhone Developes Cookbook | This was, as far as I know, the first available iPhone development book. The author, Erica Sadun is well knows in the jailbreaking community even before the SDK was released. Once it was available, she write this excellent book. Even it she doesn't cover the today's development style, the book is still a valuable information source. |
You may ask, which of the above books to read? Here is my answer: All of the above, in the above order.
One very useful service, once your application is available in the AppStore is PrMac. They are offering free press releases and announcments that can push your own Application.
