Description
With this Early Release edition, you'll get the entire book in its earliest form -- the author's raw and unedited content -- so you can take advantage of this content long before the book's official release. You'll also receive updates when significant changes are made, as well as the final ebook version. All of this for a fraction of the price of the printed book.

It's a fact: if you know HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, you already have what you need to develop your own iPhone apps. With this special Early Release ebook, you'll learn how to use these open source web technologies to design and build apps for both the iPhone and iPod Touch, on the platform of your choice. Device-agnostic apps are the wave of the future, especially for mobile devices, and this book shows you how to create, test, and convert one product that can be used on several platforms.
