Acknowledgments

I’d like to start by thanking Shawn Grimes and Colin Francis, who wrote the iOS 5 version of this book. Without their great effort, I’d still be struggling with it.

I also must thank Matthew Campbell, who helped me get over the Xcode threshold and get rid of the initial confusion; anyone who has made the transition from other IDEs knows that this can be, well, tricky.

Additionally, I’d like to send a big thank you to the Apress team without whose help this book would not have been possible. Anamika Panchoo for keeping me on track at all times, Douglas Pundick and Anselm Bradford for their extremely helpful technical reviews, and last but not least, Linda Seifert, for correcting my language.

Finally, I’m inclined to thank my wife, Esra, my son, Måns, and my daughter, Aylin, to whom I’ve been more or less inaccessible during the last few months. I promise I’ll make it up to you (and hopefully already have when you read this).
