IOS 6 Programming Cookbook

For three successive versions of iOS, starting with iOS4, O'Reilly's iOS Programming Cookbook by Vandad Nahavandipoor has been (along with Programming iOS by Matt Neuberg) my go-to volume for answering questions about how to accomplish things in the language. I don't throw this claim around lightly, since there's a boatload of books these days that claim to do the same thing, which is to provide snippets of information for the novice to intermediate iOS programmer to allow for the accomplishment of a particular goal; unfortunately for my wallet and for my time, most of these volumes fall strangely short of the mark, either by being not comprehensive enough, not using sufficient examples, or by being riddled with typos and errata (something particularly egregious in a book where the actual text of code matters).

I wanted to learn iOS in a short amount of time, and this book helped a lot. I was shown clear code that works mostly well.

Awesome book. If you write iOS applications, you are doing yourself a disservice if this book is not part of your collection.
