Resources

Over the past two weeks I have been studying Objective-C and the iOS frameworks. Stanford University offers some great classes that teach iOS development and luckily they post the video pod casts of the class lectures on iTunes. I used the resources from the Fall 2010 CSE 193p class taught by Professor Hegarty. These resources can be found here: http://www.stanford.edu/class/cs193p/cgi-bin/drupal/ as well as on iTunes.

Even with the inconvenient budget cuts, our library has some awesome electronic resources for learning Objective-C and iOS development. If you are a student at UCSD, or have access to the electronic resources of the Geisel Library, then these resources can be found here: http://libraries.ucsd.edu/. By searching for Objective-C or iOS, many e-resources will be shown. I found the following pretty useful:

• Objective-C by Jiva DeVoe
• Cocoa and Objective-C: up and running by Scott Stevenson
• Advanced iOS 4 Programming: Developing Mobile Applications for Apple iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch by Maher Ali

Most recently I have been watching and looking at the slides of the 2010 WWDC, which can be found here: http://developer.apple.com/videos/wwdc/2010/
