 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

THE IPHONE AND IPAD HAVE EMERGED as my favorite pieces of technology I have ever owned. As
such, the topic of iOS application development has been a joy to write about. However, the book
was also a joy because of the stellar team I had working with me on this book. First and foremost,
I’d like to thank Kelly Talbot for his masterful role as project editor. He kept the project on track
and running smoothly from start to fi nish. I’d also like to thank Michael Gilbert for his insights and
ever-watchful eye that ensured technical accuracy in this book. Further, thanks also to Charlotte
Kughen for her editing prowess.

 INTRODUCTION

THE AMAZING SUCCESS OF THE IPHONE and iPad over the past four years has proven that
application developers are now smack deep in a brave new world of sophisticated, multifunctional
mobile applications. No longer do applications and various media need to live in separate silos.
Instead, mobile web-based applications can bring together elements of web apps, native apps,
multimedia video and audio, and the mobile device.
This book covers the various aspects of developing web-based applications for iOS. Specifically, you will
discover how to create a mobile application from the ground up, utilize existing open source frameworks
to speed up your development times, emulate the look and feel of built-in Apple applications, capture
finger touch interactions, and optimize applications for Wi-Fi and wireless networks.

WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR

This book is aimed primarily for beginning and intermediate web developers who want to build new
applications for iOS or migrate existing web apps to this platform. In general, readers will fi nd it
helpful to have a working knowledge of the following technologies:
➤ HTML/XHTML
➤ CSS
➤ JavaScript
➤ Ajax
However, if you are a less experienced working with these technologies, be sure to take advantage of
the early chapters at the start of the book.

WHAT THIS BOOK COVERS

This book introduces readers to the web application platform for iOS. It guides readers through the
process of building new applications from scratch and migrating existing web applications to this
new mobile platform. As it does so, it helps readers design a user interface that is optimized for iOS
touch-screen displays and integrate their applications with iPhone services, including Phone, Mail,
Google Maps, and GPS.

HOW THIS BOOK IS STRUCTURED

The chapter-level breakdown is as follows:
1. Introducing iOS Development Using Web Technologies. Explores the Safari development
platform and walks you through different ways you can develop apps for iOS.

 INTRODUCTION

2. Working with Core Technologies. Provides an overview of some of the key technologies
you’ll be working with as you develop iOS web apps.
3. The Document Object Model. Explores how you can work with an HTML page as a tree in
order to navigate and control various parts in your app.
4. Writing Your First Hello World Application. Guides you through the steps needed to create
your fi rst iOS app.
5. Enabling and Optimizing Web Sites for iPhone and iPad. Covers how to make an existing
website compatible with mobile versions of Safari and then how to optimize the site for use
as a full-fledged web application.
6. Designing the iPhone UI. Gives an overview of the key design concepts and principles you
need to use when developing a highly usable interface for Safari on iPhone and iPod touch
devices.
7. Designing for iPad. Looks at how to design UI’s for the iPad and how they differ from
iPhone designs.
8. Styling with CSS. Discusses specific Safari-specific styles that are useful for developing web
apps for iOS.
9. Programming the Interface. Provides a code-level look at developing an iPhone and iPad web
application interface.
10. Handling Touch Interactions and Events. The heart of an iOS device is its touch screen
interface. This chapter explores how to handle touch interactions and capture JavaScript events.
11. Special Effects and Animation. The Safari canvas provides an ideal environment for
advanced graphic techniques, including gradients and masks
12. Integrating with iOS Services. Discusses how a web application can integrate with core
services, including Phone, Mail, Google Maps, and GPS.
13. Packaging Apps as Bookmarks: Bookmarklets and Data URLs. This chapter explains how
you can use two little used web technologies to support limited offl ine support.
14. Programming the Canvas. The mobile version of Safari provides full support for canvas
drawing and painting, opening up opportunities for developers. This chapter dives into these
advanced techniques.
15. Offl ine Applications. Covers how you can use HTML 5 offl ine cache to create local web
apps that don’t need a live server connection.
16. Building with Web App Frameworks. Highlights the major open source iPhone web app
frameworks and shows you how to be productive quickly with each of them.
17. Bandwidth and Performance Optimizations. Deals with the all-important issue of
performance of web-based applications and what techniques developers can do to minimize
constraints and maximize bandwidth and app execution performance.
18. Debug and Deploy. Discusses various methods of debugging Safari web applications.

 INTRODUCTION

As for styles in the text:

➤ We highlight new terms and important words when we introduce them.
➤ We show keyboard strokes like this: Ctrl+A.
➤ We show fi le names, URLs, and code within the text like so: persistence.properties.
➤ We present code in two different ways:

We use a monofont type with no highlighting for most code examples.

We use bold to emphasize code that is particularly important in the present
context or to show changes from a previous code snippet.
