Getting Started with iPhone Development
This weekend I finally found some time to watch [Bill Dudney](http://bill.dudney.net/roller/bill/)'s screencasts about iPhone development.
The screencast series is called '[Writing your first iPhone Application](http://pragprog.com/screencasts/v-bdiphone/writing-your-first-iphone-application)' and it is an ideal way to get started with iPhone application development.
All you need is a recent version of Xcode and some basic knowledge about Objective-C and Cocoa.
In 2,5 hours Bill shows you how to create a simple but nice recipe application where you can store recipes and its ingredients (sure, it is NOT a full-blown recipe database application but it serves its purpose). You learn a lot about table views, view controllers, navigation controllers and how to store your entered data persistently by using [SQLite](http://sqlite.org/).
I really enjoyed watching it and I'd recommend to write the application in parallel while you are watching it. That way you'll think more about how all the stuff works.
Every episode (five in total) costs $5 but I think it's completely worth the money.
