Here’s what people are saying about the book:
I think “iPhone App Development” by @chockenberry is the best software book I’ve ever read. (via Twitter)

It gives you a fresh perspective and uncovers a much more complex process you ever imagined … It’s a must buy for everyone involved in the creation of an iPad or iPhone app.

About 100 pages into @chockenberry‘s iPhone App Development book, and I’m super-impressed. Damn fine collection of real-world knowledge.

The best part of @chockenberry‘s new iPhone dev book is easily Appendix A. The list of Cocoa resources & blogs are worth the $ alone!

Reading @chockenberry‘s iPhone book. The ‘soft’ content is crucial, and I like the way he builds up why conventions exist. Very didactic.

@chockenberry I’m 1/4 of the way through your book. I was skeptical of it targeting experienced and novice devs but I was wrong! It’s great!

iPhone dev manual by @chockenberry is easily the best of the 4 iPhone dev books I’ve read. Tone is so casual and explanations clear/concise.

This book is indispensible for anyone who wants to get serious with iPhone development. It covers not just the technology behind the iPhone OS platform, but the daily life of an iPhone developer—something far more difficult to put into words. Craig has been there since day one, and is now sharing some of his best tricks with all of us. Beginners will quickly get rolling, and even veterans will learn interesting things from the mind of a proven master.

If you want to write an iPhone or iPad app, before you download Xcode, buy this book.

This collection of condensed wisdom is invaluable to app developers. Even experts are likely to learn something new from every page.

Starting out as an iPhone developer is akin to stumbling into a vast and exotic wilderness, filled with unknown danger and untold possibility. It’s easy to get lost without a guide. I can think of no one better than Craig Hockenberry and no better book than this to help you on your way.

I’m frequently finding myself chuckling (or outright cracking up) reading @chockenberry‘s @appdevmanual. Great stuff!

@chockenberry Got your book. After 2 hours with it I’ve said, “Oh, that’s how you do it” at least 12 times. Taking a 2nd stab at #iphonedev.
