I paid for and downloaded a PDF copy of iPhone Cool Projects from Apress. You can find a copy of it here: http://www.apress.com/book/view/143022357x. Or if you prefer the old fashioned way, see my book store links if you want to order a copy from Amazon.
I haven’t had time to read much of the book. So instead of a book review, this is more of an FYI.
I was interested in the book for the following reasons:
- Apress did a great job with Beginning iPhone Development and iPhone Games Projects
- There’s a chapter that covers cocos2d and the Chipmunk physics engine
- Neil Mix – who wrote Pandora Radio for the iPhone – has a chapter on audio streaming
- There’s a chapter on multi-threading
- There’s another chapter on writing a game
As always, Apress goes for quality over quantity. If you like your books by the pound, you may be disappointed to find that the book only has seven chapters. But it looks to me like there is a wealth of information in it.
