Now, admittedly, a third edition is now required given that the iPad comes along with SDK 3.2.  However, I still feel that completing all 163 recipes outlined in Sadun&#8217;s book will bring me from [...]]]></description>

The iPhone Developer&#8217;s Cookbook by Erica Sadun
The lecture videos from Stanford&#8217;s class on iPhone development
