Review
John Ray's and Sean Johnson's bookSam's Teach Yourself iPhone Application Programming in 24 Hours is without a doubt the best book on the subject that I have read so far. As a high-level instructor myself, it is easy to assume that someone new to a subject can just 'assume' something that the instructor takes for granted. The authors' attention to detail is nothing short of incredible.
I have very little prior programming experience and having been busting my hump to understand this subject on my own. I have bought every book released on the subject so far and I can assure you that this is the best one for someone new to the subject with no prior experience to go.
Thanks for a great book. I'll be sure to pick up more of this series on other subjects and recommend them to others!"

Great introduction for a coding noob
This book provides a very clear and well structured introduction to iPhone code. I have never coded anything before and i am finding this book a fantastic guide to app development.
It is written clearly with lots of colour screenshots so that you are reassured that you are doing things right. The code is coloured in the same colours that you will see when you type in Xcode which makes it easy to follow. Throughout the book there are 'Did you know?' and 'Watch out' panels for handy contextual asides. There are FAQs, questions, activities and further reading sections at the end of each hour so that you can check your progress.
The best thing is that when you buy the book and register it on the publisher's website you can download resources for each of the 24 chapters. The resources include example apps and assets so that you can actually open an app and apply what you are learning practically.
If you're looking for an absolute beginner guide to code and app development then buy this one!
