                                         With a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction, I introduce to you our new and
                                         rapidly growing line of titles for all things Mac OS X and iPhone. Authors, editors,
                                         reviewers, and a good many production staff have worked hard to bring these
        http://www.apress.com            books to fruition, and we trust you’ll find them as exciting as we do.

                                         For those starting out in Mac OS X development or coming from other development
                                         environments, we have created a “Learn” series to get you up and running fast. At
                                         the heart of this series is our just-published Learn Objective-C on the Mac, written
                                         by well-known Mac experts Scott Knaster and Mark Dalrymple.

     http://www.friendsofed.com          Perhaps the most exciting area of development is for iPhone applications of all
                                         sorts. Beginning iPhone Development: Exploring the iPhone SDK has quickly
                                         become the best-selling iPhone book, and it’s no wonder. The inimitable Dave Mark
                                         and coauthor Jeff LeMarche have created a classic of completeness wrapped in
                                         one of the most readable developer books published in years.

                                         We’ve also updated Dave Mark’s legendary Learn C on the Mac, one of the finest
     http://eBookshop.apress.com         books to teach basic programming ever written. And it’s purely for Mac users, so
                                         one can go straight from Learn C, to tackle Learn Objective-C, and then move
                                         on to Learn Cocoa for the Mac, which will be available soon after Apple ships
                                         Snow Leopard. This will also bring an update to our successful end-user-oriented
                                         Leopard title, which we intend to release as Learning Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

                                         For Snow Leopard, we are also planning a newly updated version of our best-
                                         selling AppleScript book aimed squarely at industry professionals who need
http://www.apress.com/ebook/firstpress
                                         AppleScript to automate complex workflows and create unified procedures
                                         across a range of applications. We’ll also be addressing the more-experienced
                                         professionals with a series of “Pro” titles: Pro Xcode and Pro Cocoa Frameworks in
                                         particular.

                                         In 2009 you’ll see a lot of growth in our lineup of Mac OS X and iPhone developer
                                         titles. We’re planning a series of iPhone books based on applications shipping from
   http://www.apress.com/tradesite       the iTunes App Store. Our first, iPhone Game Projects, will include 0 chapters
                                         written by 0 different developers covering 0 popular and highly rated games. This
                                         will be followed by iPhone Web Apps, and then by iPhone User Interface Design.

                                         Finally, much of the growth in the ranks of Mac OS X and iPhone developers is
                                         coming from developers moving from other platforms. This was particularly evident
                                         at Apple’s 2008 Worldwide Developer’s Conference. We’re planning to publish Mac
     http://apress.com/academic          OS X for Java Developers, as well as iPhone Applications for Flash Developers, in
                                         the second half of 2009 and have plans to add similar titles.

                                         Our goal at Apress is to publish books that help you get ahead, succeed in your
                                         daily work, and open your minds to new and better ways of doing things. We
                                         believe we’re off to a good start with our brand-new lineup of Mac OS X and
                                         iPhone titles. As you can tell, we’ve got big plans taking shape for 2009. So write to
                                         us and tell us what you’d like to see and what would help make you a better, more
                                         efficient, and satisfyingly productive developer. Thanks for reading, and I wish you
                                         good skill.

Southeast Valley .NET User
Group
It all started on a cold (5 degree) day in Chandler, Arizona,
back in January 2008, when a few developers talked about
wanting a lunch for local technology professionals to meet
and chat. From that discussion Tech Lunch South and the
Southeast Valley .NET user group was formed.

The Southeast Valley .NET user group started with the goal
of providing a convenient location for .NET developers in the
southeast part of the valley to meet. We wanted to make it
easier for people of Tempe, Chandler, Case grande, Mesa,
and Queen Creek to get together to network and learn.

Since the creation of the user group, it has been our mission

  • 2. WElcomE With a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction, I introduce to you our new and rapidly growing line of titles for all things Mac OS X and iPhone. Authors, editors, reviewers, and a good many production staff have worked hard to bring these http://www.apress.com books to fruition, and we trust you’ll find them as exciting as we do. For those starting out in Mac OS X development or coming from other development environments, we have created a “Learn” series to get you up and running fast. At the heart of this series is our just-published Learn Objective-C on the Mac, written by well-known Mac experts Scott Knaster and Mark Dalrymple. http://www.friendsofed.com Perhaps the most exciting area of development is for iPhone applications of all sorts. Beginning iPhone Development: Exploring the iPhone SDK has quickly become the best-selling iPhone book, and it’s no wonder. The inimitable Dave Mark and coauthor Jeff LeMarche have created a classic of completeness wrapped in one of the most readable developer books published in years. We’ve also updated Dave Mark’s legendary Learn C on the Mac, one of the finest http://eBookshop.apress.com books to teach basic programming ever written. And it’s purely for Mac users, so one can go straight from Learn C, to tackle Learn Objective-C, and then move on to Learn Cocoa for the Mac, which will be available soon after Apple ships Snow Leopard. This will also bring an update to our successful end-user-oriented Leopard title, which we intend to release as Learning Mac OS X Snow Leopard. For Snow Leopard, we are also planning a newly updated version of our best- selling AppleScript book aimed squarely at industry professionals who need http://www.apress.com/ebook/firstpress AppleScript to automate complex workflows and create unified procedures across a range of applications. We’ll also be addressing the more-experienced professionals with a series of “Pro” titles: Pro Xcode and Pro Cocoa Frameworks in particular. In 2009 you’ll see a lot of growth in our lineup of Mac OS X and iPhone developer titles. We’re planning a series of iPhone books based on applications shipping from http://www.apress.com/tradesite the iTunes App Store. Our first, iPhone Game Projects, will include 0 chapters written by 0 different developers covering 0 popular and highly rated games. This will be followed by iPhone Web Apps, and then by iPhone User Interface Design. Finally, much of the growth in the ranks of Mac OS X and iPhone developers is coming from developers moving from other platforms. This was particularly evident at Apple’s 2008 Worldwide Developer’s Conference. We’re planning to publish Mac http://apress.com/academic OS X for Java Developers, as well as iPhone Applications for Flash Developers, in the second half of 2009 and have plans to add similar titles. Our goal at Apress is to publish books that help you get ahead, succeed in your daily work, and open your minds to new and better ways of doing things. We believe we’re off to a good start with our brand-new lineup of Mac OS X and iPhone titles. As you can tell, we’ve got big plans taking shape for 2009. So write to us and tell us what you’d like to see and what would help make you a better, more efficient, and satisfyingly productive developer. Thanks for reading, and I wish you good skill.
