My new book won’t be in stores for a few months, but you can start reading (and commenting on!) the manuscript today on O’Reilly’s Open Feedback Publishing System.

If you are a web designer or web developer interested in building iPhone apps without having to learn Objective-C, please take advantage of this amazing resource:

Looking forward to your feedback!

ABOUT THE BOOK

Now web designers and developers can join the iPhone app party without having to learn Cocoa’s Objective-C programming language. It’s true: You can write iPhone apps quickly and efficiently using your existing skills with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This book shows you how with lots of detailed examples, step-by-step instructions, and hands-on exercises.

• Learn how to build iPhone apps with standard web tools
• Refactor a traditional website into an iPhone web app
• Hook into advanced iPhone features (e.g. accelerometer, geolocation, vibration, and sound) with JavaScript
• Do most of your development with the operating system of your choice

ABOUT OFPS

O’Reilly’s Open Feedback Publishing System (OFPS) is a project of O’Reilly Labs that tries to improve in-progress books by engaging the community in a collaborative dialog with the authors out in the open.

The system regularly publishes the current version of the DocBook manuscript in Subversion online as HTML with a comment box under every paragraph, sidebar, figure, and table. Readers follow comments on the site itself or via Atom feeds & the authors and editors can follow the comments using a special build of their manuscript with the comments embedded in the DocBook.
