We designed iPod & iTunes For Dummies, 3rd Edition, as a reference. You can easily find the information you need when you need it. We organized the information so that you can read from beginning to end to find out how to use iTunes and your iPod from scratch. But this book is also designed so that you can dive in anywhere and begin reading because you find all the info you need to know for each task. We don’t cover every detail of every function of the software, and we intentionally leave out some detail so that we don’t befuddle you with technospeak when it’s not necessary. (Really, engineers can sometimes provide too many obscure choices that no one ever uses.) We write brief but comprehensive descriptions and include lots of cool tips on how to get the best results from using iTunes and your iPod. If your PC is on the trailing edge rather than the leading edge, don’t worry — you won’t miss out on the iPod revolution. True, if you don’t use Windows 2000 or Windows XP on your PC, you can’t use iTunes for Windows. However, if you use Windows Me (Millennium Edition), you can use MusicMatch Jukebox. Please note that if you’re using MusicMatch, you can find that content online. A companion Web site is available for you at www.dummies.com/go/ipod.
We designed this book as a reference. You can find the information you need when you need it easily — this book even has thumbtabs to locate subjects quickly. We organize the information in a linear fashion into seven minibooks. You can read each minibook from beginning to end to find out how to use the software from scratch. You can also dive in anywhere and begin reading, because you find all the info you need to know for each task in each section or step list. We don’t cover every detail of every function of the software, and we intentionally leave out some detail so that we don’t spook you with technospeak when it’s not necessary. (Really, engineers can sometimes provide too many obscure choices that no one ever uses.) For this book, we wrote brief but comprehensive descriptions and included lots of cool tips on how to be productive with iLife.
With over 100,000 iPhone applications and 125,000 registered iPhone developers, is it still possible to create a top-selling app that stands apart from the six-figure crowd?

With this book, you’ll get practical advice on user interface design from 10 innovative developers who, like you, have sat wondering how to best utilize the iPhone’s minimal screen real estate. Their stories illustrate precisely why, with more apps and more experienced, creative developers, no iPhone app can succeed without a great UI.

More than just tips and pointers, you’ll learn from the authors’ hands-on experiences, including:

Interested in iPhone development? Want to learn more? Whether you’re a self-taught iPhone development genius or have just made your way through the pages of Beginning iPhone 3 Development, we have the perfect book for you. More iPhone 3 Development: Tackling iPhone SDK 3 digs deeper into Apple’s latest SDK. Best-selling authors Dave Mark and Jeff LaMarche explain concepts as only they can, covering topics like Core Data, peer-to-peer networking using GameKit and network streams, working with data from the web, MapKit, in-application e-mail, and more. All the concepts and APIs are clearly presented with code snippets you can customize and use, as you like, in your own apps. If you are going to write a professional iPhone app, you’ll want to get your arms around Core Data, and there’s no better place to do so than in the pages of this book. The book continues right where Beginning iPhone 3 Development left off with a series of chapters devoted to Core Data, the standard for persistence that Apple introduced to iPhone with SDK 3. Jeff and Dave carefully step through each of the Core Data concepts and show you techniques and tips specifically for writing larger applications—offering a breadth of coverage you won’t find anywhere else. The Core Data coverage alone is worth the price of admission. But there’s so much more. This book covers a variety of networking mechanisms, from GameKit’s relatively simple BlueTooth peer-to-peer model, to the addition of Bonjour discovery and network streams, through the complexity of accessing files via the web. Dave and Jeff will also take you through coverage of concurrent programming and some advanced techniques for debugging your applications. Whether you are a relative newcomer to iPhone development or an old hand looking to expand your horizons, there’s something for everyone in More iPhone 3 Development.
