I have spent a month trying to watch on-line videos on just creating a basic App but never got a chance to understand what, why, or how it was being done. I am truly pleased to have stumbled across Book 3 that gave me samples and got me hooked - James, Algona, WA

When Navigating Xcode was written, we had "beta readers" who were absolute beginners provide feedback on every chapter. If they didn't understand a concept we rewrote that section, added diagrams and videos until every concept was clear.

This book includes high definition videos that takes you through the more in-depth tutorials. When you are a beginner, these videos are critical to your success.
