Incredible iPhone Apps For Dummies
Book Name : Incredible iPhone Apps For Dummies
This, my 55th technical book, was almost certainly the hardest book I�ve had to write. Yet I think I had more fun writing it than any of the others. Here�s why. . . .
More than 100,000 apps are available in the iTunes App Store today, with thousands more added each week. No single human (or even a rather large team of humans) could look at them all, much less give every one of them a thorough workout.
So my first challenge was to narrow the field to a manageable size. I began by looking for apps that had achieved some measure of acclaim, a combination of iTunes Store ranking, positive buzz on the Web, iTunes Store reviews, the opinions of friends and colleagues who matter (you know who you are), the opinions of my family, the opinions of the many enthusiastic iPhone fans at Wiley Publishing, reviews in print, and reviews on the Web. Then I added the thousands of dollars� worth of apps already in my personal collection. When all was said and done, I had way more than 600 apps that were contenders, and I spent several months testing them, taking notes, and capturing screen shots.
Each chapter in the book contains five apps, listed alphabetically, each getting two full pages of description and pictures. These five apps are followed by five more apps, also alphabetized, with shorter descriptions. The five apps with the longer descriptions and pictures were selected only because I felt those were the apps that would benefit most from longer descriptions and pictures. The five apps with shorter descriptions and no pictures were the ones I felt I could describe adequately in a paragraph or two.
Please understand that the apps are not ranked in any way within the chapter. Ranking the apps #1 through #10 was more than I could bear; just think of the ten apps in each chapter as more or less equally incredible.
