Big List of Youtubers Who Will Review Your iPhone App

As many of you may have noticed, I have been updating my older resource lists with updated links that have been shared with me in the last few months since starting this site, and I’ve been uploading tutorials/other videos to Youtube.

One resource which I didn’t really think about was Youtube.  I wasn’t really a Youtuber before uploading my videos, but something I noticed was that there is a massive number of people on Youtube doing app reviews.  Usually developers will upload a usage video to Youtube, and ultimately that’s the end of things, it’s hit or miss, and most videos get very few views.

Source Code: Particle Based Explosions In iPhone OpenGL ES

Hi everybody, if you’ve been following me on twitter you may have seen my tweet about an open sourced iPhone version of Space Invaders

So what I did was spend about 3 minutes playing with the code, and I came up with the demo shown here in this video.

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.
