My next book: Learning iPad SDK

Update 4-12-2010
I'm sorry to say that I had to cancel this book project. My current workload developing iPad applications for clients prevents me from writing about iPad development. I suspect there are a lot of iPad development books in the works which will prove to be excellent resources for beginning iPad developers. Thanks to Brian Jespen and everyone else at O'Reilly Media for their kindness.




The ink is not even dry but I've already been shown the cover to my next book, Learning iPad SDK, which I'm writing for O'Reilly Media. Much thanks to Brian Jepson for helping to make it happen. Now I just have to write the book!

I'm pretty excited about writing this book. It's intended to help those who have never programmed for the iPhone get quickly up to speed and productive with the iPhone 3.2 SDK specifically for the iPad, which we are just referring to as the iPad SDK to avoid confusion.

My Animal for this book is a Cape Fox, which is pretty cool. I'm looking forward to working with Brian and getting a book out there early - there is going to be a huge level of interest in programming for the iPad. Hopefully, we'll be able to post some rough cuts for early feedback.

That reminds me, my digital friend Joshua Blake is writing his own book for Manning on touch programming for Windows 7. Check it out!
