 Welcome

With a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction, I introduce to you our new and
rapidly growing line of titles for all things Mac OS X and iPhone. Authors, editors,
reviewers, and a good many production staff have worked hard to bring these
http://www.apress.com books to fruition, and we trust you’ll find them as exciting as we do.

For those starting out in Mac OS X development or coming from other development
environments, we have created a “Learn” series to get you up and running fast. At
the heart of this series is our just-published Learn Objective-C on the Mac, written
by well-known Mac experts Scott Knaster and Mark Dalrymple.

http://www.friendsofed.com Perhaps the most exciting area of development is for iPhone applications of all
sorts. Beginning iPhone Development: Exploring the iPhone SDK has quickly
become the best-selling iPhone book, and it’s no wonder. The inimitable Dave Mark
and coauthor Jeff LeMarche have created a classic of completeness wrapped in
one of the most readable developer books published in years.

We’ve also updated Dave Mark’s legendary Learn C on the Mac, one of the finest
http://eBookshop.apress.com books to teach basic programming ever written. And it’s purely for Mac users, so
one can go straight from Learn C, to tackle Learn Objective-C, and then move
on to Learn Cocoa for the Mac, which will be available soon after Apple ships
Snow Leopard. This will also bring an update to our successful end-user-oriented
Leopard title, which we intend to release as Learning Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

For Snow Leopard, we are also planning a newly updated version of our best-
selling AppleScript book aimed squarely at industry professionals who need
http://www.apress.com/ebook/firstpress
AppleScript to automate complex workflows and create unified procedures
across a range of applications. We’ll also be addressing the more-experienced
professionals with a series of “Pro” titles: Pro Xcode and Pro Cocoa Frameworks in
particular.

In 2009 you’ll see a lot of growth in our lineup of Mac OS X and iPhone developer
titles. We’re planning a series of iPhone books based on applications shipping from
http://www.apress.com/tradesite the iTunes App Store. Our first, iPhone Game Projects, will include 10 chapters
written by 10 different developers covering 10 popular and highly rated games. This
will be followed by iPhone Web Apps, and then by iPhone User Interface Design.

Finally, much of the growth in the ranks of Mac OS X and iPhone developers is
coming from developers moving from other platforms. This was particularly evident
at Apple’s 2008 Worldwide Developer’s Conference. We’re planning to publish Mac
http://apress.com/academic OS X for Java Developers, as well as iPhone Applications for Flash Developers, in
the second half of 2009 and have plans to add similar titles.

Our goal at Apress is to publish books that help you get ahead, succeed in your
daily work, and open your minds to new and better ways of doing things. We
believe we’re off to a good start with our brand-new lineup of Mac OS X and
iPhone titles. As you can tell, we’ve got big plans taking shape for 2009. So write to
us and tell us what you’d like to see and what would help make you a better, more
efficient, and satisfyingly productive developer. Thanks for reading, and I wish you
good skill.
