iPhone development reading material - iPhone Open Application Development

iPhone Open Application Development bookLeave it up to the iPhone development community to release an instructional iPhone application programming book before Apple even releases the official iPhone SDK to the public. Jonathan Zdziarski, a prominent iPhone developer and one of the team members that helped craft the recently released iPhone v1.1.3 jailbreak (against the team’s wishes), has already gone public with a book that delves into the inner workings of the iPhone’s software-platform.

In iPhone Open Application Development, Zdziarski explains how to use Apple’s iPhone toolkit and the open-source toolkit, with which he developed the first fully-functional third-party iPhone application, to create third-party iPhone applications for use with jailbroken iPhones. The book will teach iPhone developer-wannabes how to actually code applications in Objective-C and the iPhone API.

The book is scheduled to hit the printing presses in mid-May of this year, and will cost around $40 (although there are cheaper, PDF/e-book options available).

    You should re-phrase your article. The way it is now it reads like Jonathan Zdziarski did something against the Dev teams wishes. Very misleading.
