When the water’s cold, it’s better to jump in without hesitation. You’ll be doing just that as you learn the important principles necessary for iOS development. These are many of the core principles and tools you’ll be utilizing when you start creating more advanced applications.

In chapter 1 you’ll be introduced to iOS, the development environment, and will even create your own Hello World application called Hello Time.

Chapter 2 takes an in-depth look at the user interface layer of an iOS app. You’ll learn about views, controls, and view controllers. Chapter 3 expands on views and view controllers by going into storyboarding and scenes.
