Want to get more out of your iPhone or iPod touch? Professional iPhone and iPod touch Programming: Building Applications for Mobile Safari is a hands-on, in-depth book that introduces developers to the initial release of the iPhone application Platform and assists them in creating Web 2.0 applications that operate on the iPhone and integrate with its services. Author Richard Wagner shares his experience as he guides you through the process of building new applications from scratch and migrating existing Web 2.0 applications to this new mobile platform.
