This book will teach you the essential concepts of iOS programming. At the same time, you’ll type in a lot of code and build a bunch of applications. By the end of the book, you’ll have knowledge and experience. However, all the knowledge shouldn’t (and, in this book, won’t) come first. That’s sort of the traditional way we’ve all come to know and hate. Instead, we take a learn-while-doing approach. Development concepts and actual coding go together.
Here’s what we’ve learned over the years of teaching iOS programming:
What does this mean for you, the reader? To learn this way takes some trust. And we appreciate yours. It also takes patience. As we lead you through these chapters, we will try to keep you comfortable and tell you what’s happening. However, there will be times when you’ll have to take our word for it. (If you think this will bug you, keep reading – we’ve got some ideas that might help.) Don’t get discouraged if you run across a concept that you don’t understand right away. Remember that we’re intentionally not providing all the knowledge you will ever need all at once. If a concept seems unclear, we will likely discuss it in more detail later when it becomes necessary. And some things that aren’t clear at the beginning will suddenly make sense when you implement them the first (or the twelfth) time.
People learn differently. It’s possible that you will love how we hand out concepts on an as-needed basis. It’s also possible that you’ll find it frustrating. In case of the latter, here are some options:
