と書いてから公開せず結局半年くらいEctoの中で眠らせてしまった。
ApressのiPhone本は何冊か買ったが、これが一番使い出がある気がする。さすがAdvanced Projectsだ。

目次はこんな感じ。

1. Ben “Panda” Smith, discussing particle systems using OpenGL ES
2. Joachim Bondo , demonstrating his implementation of correspondence gaming in the most recent version of his chess application, Deep Green.
3. Tom Harrington implementing streaming audio with Core Audio, one of many iPhone OS 3 APIs.
4. Owen Goss debugging those pesky errors in your iPhone code with an eye toward achieving professional-strength results.
5. Dylan Bruzenak building a data-driven application with SQLite.
6. Ray Kiddy illustrating the full application development life cycle with Core Data.
7. Steve Finkelstein marrying an offline eMail client to Core Data.
8. Peter Honeder and Florian Pflug tackling the challenges of networked applications in WiFi environments.
9. Jonathan Saggau improving interface responsiveness with some of his personal tips and tricks, including “blocks” and other esoteric techniques.
10. Joe Pezzillo pushing the frontiers of APNS, the new in iPhone OS 3 Apple Push Notification Service that makes the Cloud the limit for iPhone apps.
11. Noel Llopis taking mere programmers into a really advanced developmental adventure into the world of Environment Mapping with OpenGL ES.

特に、 4章のデバッグの際に便利なテクニック集と、10章のAPNs(Apple Push Notification Service) をよく参照している。非常に実用的だ。

ただ、Advanced Projects なので始めたばかりの人が読むのは厳しいと思われる。ある程度詳しくなってから読むのが吉かと。
