Start the free chapterIn this VTC course, author Jesse Feiler provides hands-on guidance in learning how to be a developer for iPad. You will learn how to use Xcode 4, which is a major rewrite of Xcode and is a new paradigm for developing software. This course identifies the major components of the UI and shows you how to program them. In addition, you will learn about iOS SDK component for data storage and display, including Core Data and table views. Jesse even demonstrates how to use the simulator to test your iOS apps using your Mac (Please note that Xcode is Mac-only software, so in order to develop iOS apps, you will need a Mac).
