Question by Edward Julius: Can anyone recommend a good book that can teach me how to create applications for apple’s iPad iPhone iTouch?
What I’m look for is a good book that can help me and teach me how to create apps for the iOS. I am a computer programmer, I have a degree in CompSci, but I have no experience in Objective-C which is the language used to make apps.
I need a good book that can guide me. Most of the books I find are outdated, and they don’t teach about how to create apps for the iPad. Mostly for the iPhone. Is there a new book that just came out recently? Can anyone recommend me one?
Thanks in advance. 🙂

Google, and Amazon, are your friends:
Specifically, “The iPad Programming Guide explains how to implement the new features of iPad in your application.”.
TIP: If your “Objective-C” skills aren’t up to snuff, Amazon has many good books on the subject, including iPad-specific programming guides:
