The 3 Books Beginning iPhone Developers Must Read
A question that I see commonly asked, and am asked at least once a week is “what book should an iPhone development beginner read?”. So here are the 3 books that I believe beginning iPhone developers must read if they want to understand the SDK as fast as possible. Please note that if you get these books understanding them will not be easy, it will take considerable effort, but I imagine that if you were to take college courses the content would be spread over several courses.

iPhone 3GS Will Be All About The Apps
There have been alot of complaints about the new iPhone being too expensive for what seems like a small incremental update. While the camera update may be a large factor to the buying decision in the European/Asian markets many who already have iPhones feel there really aren’t any new features worth the money. There is already some excellent voice control provided by apps in the app store.
