iPhone Location Aware Apps Beginner's Guide is probably the first book from any technical publisher that teaches you to build real world applications (five of them). That's a bold step from PacktPub - by undertaking more lively practical examples, rather than 400 pages of text! The book lays emphasis on location services, due to the ever-increasing role of location in our day-to-day lives and increased geo-referenced content being produced/consumed on the Internet and Mobiles. Be it news, sports or gossip, consumers no longer want to read/search about content happening far off from their current location. If it is news – it has to be local, similarly neighborhood gossip and news is more relevant to consumers seeking information on their smartphones. Applications such as foursquare confirm this behavior.
This book will help you learn location based techniques using iOS 5 as well as solutions to common location and mapping problems, ranging from simple location usage to caching user's last position, from simple Google maps examples to using OpenStreetMaps. Find five full working apps as a part of the book (along with the source code and business logic).
In this book, we have covered everything to make your next killer app, from app design to using free icons and background from the Internet (of course with due attribution to the author/designers), from integrating Twitter in your iOS 5 app to using the Nuance Speech SDK. This book is a practical beginners guide for new comers to the Apple iOS world.
Happy Reading. |
