Learning iPhone Game Programming Book
Just a quick shout out from a book from 71 Squared, the creators of the excellent iPhone game programming videos that you may have been found on this site.
Mike Daley’s upcoming book iPhone Game Programming has been released as a rough cut (essentially a beta verson of the book). You can read about it here: Learning iPhone Game Programming – available on Safari Rough Cuts.
