  Reviews
Book 3 has been vital to understand the intricacies and options of Xcode, and helps you learn via a well-illuminated and understandable pathway. It goes well beyond a simple approach of "press this and click that," and explains in clear detail and proper context how and why - gtr987

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

We Used Absolute Beginners as "Beta" Readers
When Mastering 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.

  Why iBooks are Superior to Kindle Books
If You Have an iOS Device or Mac, the iBooks Version is Best!
iBooks provide a far superior reading experience because they include embedded HD-videos, high-definition images, and interactive diagrams—none of which Amazon allows in Kindle books.

In addition, Apple has a superior process for providing book updates. When we release an updated version of one of our books (we provide free updates on a regular basis), Apple alerts you by displaying an update badge in the iBooks app. You just tap the badge to download an updated version of the book.
