These are notes based on the Xcode 4 Transition Guide (page numbers refer to the PDF) that I found helpful to me. This guide gives you an overview of the many refinements made during the transition from Xcode 3 to 4. Well worth a look if you are not using Xcode 4 regularly and would like to know more about its features. The following notes are of particular interest to me; you’ll find much more in the document than what I’ve written.

Book review: PhoneGap Beginner’s Guide, by Andrew Lunny

PhoneGap Beginner’s Guide, by Andrew Lunny

Packt Publishing, https://www.packtpub.com/

I’m reading the PDF version of this book, which displayed very nicely on Adobe Reader.

This book covers a lot of material (emphasis on “a lot”). This review will cover the breadth of this book’s content. It starts you at the beginning, with downloading PhoneGap and the Software Development Kits (SDKs) you’ll need to create and install applications for each of the mobile phone frameworks (Xcode for iPhone, Eclipse for Android, and Blackberry Webworks). We are introduced immediately to Git, ant, and Ruby, so we can start using them in our workflow.
