    "iOS for Game Programmers examines mobile game development and is directed to beginning Objective-C programmers, offering tools for creating a number of quick projects and small games to teach the basic applications of iOS. Each project teaches a basic skill and then builds upon it with the next project, which enables learners to embark on a logical system of learning through experience. Five game projects include a puzzle, a game of pong, and a 'whack-a-mole' game, and includes details on how iOS works, along with information on various versions including the latest iOS8 for iPhone and iPad. The result is a collection of keys to understanding game programming and iOS like, and is a recommendation for those just starting out."--California Bookwatch (6/1/2015 12:00:00 AM)
