What is the best book on developing ios apps?

I'm a beginner looking to develop ios apps. Can someone recommend a good beginner book?

The answer really depends upon your previous development experience, if any. If you're new to programming, or don't have any experience with C, I'd start with "Learn C on the Mac" by Dave Mark. Here it is at Safari Books Online:
http://my.safaribooksonline.com/book/programming/c/9781430218098
This has nothing to do with iOS, but it will lay the foundations for learning Objective-C, for which Stephen Kochan's "Programming in Objective-C" is always highly recommended. The 3rd edition just came out recently (June 2011):
http://techbus.safaribooksonline.com/book/programming/objective-c/9780321712172
Again, not iOS specific, but this gives you a solid foundation in the languages. I still haven't decided what is the best book for iOS app development in particular, but my favorite so far is Craig Hockenberry's "iPhone App Development: The Missing Manual":
http://my.safaribooksonline.com/9780596809997?portal=oreilly&cid=orm-cat-readnow -9780596809997
Hockenberry's book might be all you need if you have some C and/or Objective-C experience. And it's a good guide, in any case, in that it covers iPhone app development from start to finish, including such things as signing up for a develper account, setting up your iPhone so you can test your apps on it, and submitting your apps to the app store.

What is the best book of objective c and from where i can download it?

what is the best book of objective c and from where i can download it?

Before purchasing a book be sure to exhaust the excellent resources on the Apple Developer Site. There are quite a few guides, references, and samples for Objective-C.
Learning Objective-C: A Primer
The Objective-C Programming Language
Object-Oriented Programming with Objective-C
etc.
If you are developing for Mac or iOS, there are plenty of other documents describing the frameworks, including the Cocoa Fundamentals Guide, iOS App Programming Guide, etc.

What's the best book to learn Adobe Illustrator for GUI ?

What's the best book to learn Adobe Illustrator (I want to use it for iOS graphical user interface design):
- Realworld Illustrator
- Illustrator CS5 Bible
- Lynda.com Illustrator Essential
- Lynda.com for Web and Interactive Design
thanks

Howdy.
I can't say which is best, but I like the Visual Quickstart Guide from Peachpit Press. I have it for Photoshop and Illustrator. As the title states, it's for a quick start. A concise description of every tool and option, with simple, easy to follow instructions with screen shots. I have Photoshop CS3, and have well over 10,000 hrs in Ps and have several newer Ps books. But my tattered old Visual Quickstart Guide for Ps 6 is still my first resource when questions arise.
So far as Illustrator goes, I'm only about 100 hours into it, and so far, so good. But it could be just be a case of ignorance is bliss. Mike has thoughtfully posted the link for Peachpit Press above. You can check it out yourself.
Peace,
Lee
P.S. Here's a direct link to the guide for Illustrator.

What is the best books for MCSA 2012

pleas can you advice me what are the best books and materials for pass MCSA 2012?
thank you.

Hi, HFAA.
I understand you want to earn the MCSA title for something with a version number of
2012.
There are six (6) different MCSA certification titles currently available. Two of them are version 2012, which are Windows Server 2012 and SQL Server 2012. Here is the web page that describes all six (6) MCSA titles:
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/mcsa-certification.aspx
I am going to assume that you are interested in the most popular MCSA 2012 title:
MCSA: Windows Server 2012.
The MCSA: Windows Server 2012 description web page is located here:
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/mcsa-windows-server-certification.aspx
Exams
You need to pass three (3) required exams to earn this title. If you click each of the links below, you will find the exams' descriptions with a
Skills measured section describing what is on each exam. As well, you will see a Preparation options section full of study resources for each exam.
70-410 Installing and Configuring Windows Server 2012
70-411 Administering Windows Server 2012
70-412 Configuring Advanced Windows Server 2012 Services
Preparation Materials
Unfortunately, Microsoft has recently updated the content for these three (3) exams for
Windows Server 2012 R2. These new exams will officially be released on January 28th, 2014 (nine (9) days away). Because of that, all of the previously released study materials (books, exams, etc.) for 70-410, 70-411, and 70-412
will only be partially helpful in getting you ready for the exams.
However, Microsoft Press and O'Reilly Media are currently updating their books to include the new
R2 content and will be releasing them in February, March, and April of this year. The previous releases of their books seem to get the best reviews on Amazon for helping students prepare. Here are the books, with links on Amazon and
O'Reilly. As time goes by, books from other publishers will also be released.
Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=%22Windows%20server%202012%20r2%22%20exam
O'Reilly Media:
http://search.oreilly.com/?q=%22Server+2012+R2%22+exam&x=9&y=15
By the way, I tend to believe the O'Reilly's release dates are more accurate since they are the folks who are actually releasing the books!
WARNING: As of today (01/19/2014), I don't believe any of the three legitimate Practice Test Providers (Transcender, SelfTest, and MeasureUp) have updated their practice exams for Windows Server 2012 R2 - yet. If I am wrong, I hope someone
will correct me.
Focus all your studies on Windows Server 2012 R2 and should be ready to take on an exam. Always prepare for one exam at a time and then take it.
Also, make sure you take advantage of Microsoft's free Second Shot voucher program, which allows you to retake an exam for free in case you fail it the first time. This program will retire in May.

Good luck!

What is the best way to build an app?

what is the best way to build an app?

I've never done it, but sure, all sorts of companies will contract to code up an application for you - big companies like Honeywell and General Dynamics to Joe Programmer free-lancing out of his house will contract for computer coding projects. Without knowing details of the app to be developed I have no idea what it would cost or how long it would take. Some of the free-lance programmers I personally know bill out at over (some, well over) $100/hour.
If you really think your idea is great, then be sure to approach discussing it with a developer as a business transaction. Almost every company will have an unsolicted ideas policy in place (Apple explicitly does under their legal information page) and any unsolicited ideas sent in become the intellectual property of the company (by sending the idea unsolicited, you have legally "given" it to them).
P.S. as to how long to learn how to program well? Some people spend an entire college degree's worth of time and effort to master that.

To completely remove an app and all of its data, do this: First delete the app on your phone, then in iTunes, under Library, click on Apps, right-click the app you want to delete & select delete, when prompted, move all files to trash, empty your trash. Connect your phone and sync. The app and all of its data will be gone.

What is the minimum age to develop an app in the U.K?

what is the minimum age to develop an app in the U.K?

Anyone can develop apps the question is what age do you need to be to have a Developer account in your name.
A Developer account requires you to enter into a legal contract with Apple so the age you need to be is the age in your country where you can enter into a contract.
In that States that is 18, no idea what age it is in the U.K, but it should be easy enough to find out. If you are not old enough you can have your parent or legal guardian set up a Developer account in their name that you use. Once you reach the legal age you can then transfer the account over to yourself.

What is the best book for Analysis Server 2012??

What is the best published book for SSAS 2012?

Thanks for the recommendation, Shankar! I would like to point out that the answer depends on what you mean by "SSAS 2012". Here are a few other recommendations...
If it's SSAS 2012 Tabular, then yes, "SQL Server Analysis Services 2012: The BISM Tabular Model"
is an option - but as a co-author I'm obviously biased! Teo Lachev's book, "Applied Microsoft
SQL Server 2012 Analysis Services: Tabular Modeling" covers some of the same ground and is also very good. If you're just interested in DAX, Rob Collie's book "DAX
Formulas for PowerPivot" is worth a look - even though it's for PowerPivot, the DAX language is the same as in SSAS Tabular.
For SSAS 2012 Multidimensional, because not much has changed since SSAS 2008, any book for 2008 or 2008 R2 will still be relevant. I haven't seen the 2012 edition, but editions of "Professional
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Analysis Services with MDX and DAX" for older versions of SSAS were good general introductions; "Microsoft
SQL Server Analysis Services 2008 Step-By-Step" is also good. For more experienced developers there's another book I co-wrote, "Expert
Cube Development with SQL Server 2008" (a refresh for SSAS 2012 is coming later this year); and for the really advanced SSAS developer who wants to understand the internals of the product there's "Microsoft
SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services Unleashed", written by Edward Melomed and several other senior members of the SSAS dev team at the time. For MDX beginners I'd recommend "Microsoft
SQL Server 2008 MDX Step--By-Step", and for more advanced MDX there's "MDX with Microsoft
SQL Server 2008 R2 Analysis Services Cookbook".
For the whole Microsoft BI stack, Brian Larson's books are always good (eg "Delivering Business
Intelligence with SQL Server 2012") and cover more than just SSAS, although they go into less detail.
HTH,
Chris

What is the best practice for developing web service?

Hi All,
I'm a newbee to web services...
I was wondering what would be the best approach in developing a web service,
using tools or programmatic approach?
If I use WebLogic Workshop, am I tied to a vendor?
Is it possible for me to develop web services using workshop and deploy in
another app server..?
I would appreciate if somebody could give me a pointer to start.
I have already referred BEA's docs.
I'm still confused on a good starting point on the best approach to develop
protable web services.
Thanks in advance for any inputs.

K K-
You have a very valid point on the simplify or complicate matters. If you are
going for clean and not-so-time-centric code, then there are several different
programs and packages out there you can choose from.
Since you are specialized in J2EE, than the Sun package may be what you are looking
for. BEA's classes simplify much of the work you will be doing, but you could
emulate their classes or extend yours above the functions provided in theirs.
It all boils down to how much work are you willing to do.
If you are asking for more detailed, coding 'Design Patterns' to utilize, I would
wait for a few more posts from other folks as my work often requires me to utilize
the tools provided.
Sincerely,
Eric Ballou

Eric,
Thanks for the response.
I was also looking at Sun's WSDP 1.1, which is more programmatic approach.
Some how, I feel being a J2EE developer, I should go on the direction
of the
programmatic approach.
Using the tools could simplify or complicate things. Also, the Workshop
samples import all weblogic specific packages.
My code looks so dirty with many vendor specific packages being imported.
Could you give me your suggestions for a clean and neat approach?
I would personally prefer to avoid the quick and dirty approach.
Thanks again.

The best approach in developing portable web services is knowing whatyou
are
planning on using them for as well as how much is willing to be spent,etc.
BEA's Workshop is portable to other frameworks, but the ease ofintegrating a
developed client or a developed server can very greatly. Even moreof an
issue
is migration from one framework to another. If you choose to developin
Workshop
and your company later deploys .Net solutions, some of your work mayhave
to be
redone unless the company is willing to keep portions of the 'old'system
around
until new versions of the service are available. However, Workshophas
several
ant tools available that would assist you in deploying to other appservers or
even a stand-alone application should you need cross framework abilities.
If you are just starting out in web services, http://www.webservices.org
is a
good place to start checking out vendors in the space.

What are the best books for PL/SQL and Forms for BEGINNERS?

I asked about learning Oracle Forms in an earlier thread. Some suggested Oracle training at official Oracle Training centers like Koenig. I just went to the Koenig site. The OCA & OCP Forms Developer Training Boot Camp is a whopping 2,610 USD. That’s like 1/4 Million LKR. It’s more that the yearly salary of both the 2 new developers we got and want to train. That’s out of the question.
Some have suggested shadowing experiences programmers and team coding. Both options are out, since those things don't work here.
Learning from sites such as Francois Degrelle's blog is no good for new people since they will get confused.
I have come to the conclusion that the only way to do is to buy 2 books, one for PL/SQL and another for Oracle Forms, give it to them and ask them to follow the book and learn it and also give a time period like 2 or 3 months.
What are the good books out there for BEGINNERS to learn PL/SQL and Forms?

In addition to the books the chapter Application Developer's Guide - Fundamentals in the documentation is also worth giving a shot:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14251/toc.htm
Just for the record: I believe leaving them alone with the books won't do it. I'd at least define objectives (e.g. $chapters of the books in a week) and after they achieved them I'd test their knowledge of the individual objectives (like it was back in school :p ). By that you have control over how they are proceeding, you can focus on the things they didn't understand and you are able to eradicate some bad habits they might adopt during their studies.
If you don't take your time to train them proper you won't get good developers anyway and you will loose much more time and money...
cheers
