I am just getting back to iOS development from a few years away from the iOS field, and this book gives a solid intro to iOS 7. I have read through almost all the chapters in the book, though not necessarily in the order they are listed. While there are the usual amount of typos in a technology book, I have one gripe I feel I must mention:
Many times when the author mentions an Objective-C method that takes multiple parameters, (such as loadFromContents:ofType:error:) the author often leaves out parts of the method name (like saying "loadFromContents" instead of the full method name: loadFromContents:ofType:error:). [You can see this in page 269.]
The full declaration of the method can be like this:
-(BOOL) loadFromContents:(id)contents ofType:(NSString *)typeName error:(NSError *__autoreleasing *)outError;
If you are from a C, C++, Java, or C# background, you might not know where the method name ends and the parameter list begins. However, in Objective-C, each parameter type and its variable name occur after each : and the complete word before each : is part of the method name. So, the correct name for the above method is: loadFromContents:ofType:error:
However, if you are aware of this, you will learn to recognize the author's short hand references to Objective-C methods and be able to follow along with the text. Other than that one gripe, and the usual amount of typos, I really liked this book and found it very easy to read. Therefore, I give it 5 stars, because really, this book does a good job of getting you up-to-speed on Apple's latest version of iOS, along with details and instructions on XCode 5. I would highly recommend getting this book if you want to dive into iOS 7.
Update: I have virtually finished reading the whole book.
