Ask HN: Resources for learning IOS programming

5 pointsby nocivusvor 13 Jahren5 comments

Good afternoon,

I'm a Ruby and JAVA developer and would like to know some (good!) resources to learn IOS programming. I'm aware that Apple provides a bunch of tutorials and guides, but i'm looking for more practical examples, books, etc.

Thanks in advance, Pedro

You may want to check out the Quora thread on learning iOS (http://www.quora.com/What-are-the-best-resources-to-learn-iO...). When I was starting to learn iOS I saw this thread and picked up the Big Nerd Ranch book. I read through it and I believe it was very useful.

Read the reviews, YMMV, but after reading the BNR book I felt comfortable reading the Apple docs for the rest of the stuff I needed to learn.

There are hundreds of really good tutorials here: http://www.raywenderlich.com

For an Objective-C book pick up: "Programming Objective-C" (5th edition already!) [1]

The biggest help for me was The Big Nerd Ranch book for iOS. http://www.amazon.com/iOS-Programming-Ranch-Guide-Guides/dp/...

By the second chapter I felt confident enough to start trying things out on my own and tutorials made a lot more sense.

I learned by taking the free Stanford iPhone class. You can find details here: http://www.stanford.edu/class/cs193p/cgi-bin/drupal/

The lectures are on iTunesU and you can even do the assignments to get some practice.

I'd start here: https://teamtreehouse.com/

It's a paid service, but I've found it's the best way to start learning programming.
