I'm pleased to say that drafts of the first 8 chapters of _iPhone in
Action: Introduction to Web and SDK Development_ are available now at
http://www.manning.com/callen/ though our publisher Manning's early
access program.

The first 8 chapters cover the first two major sections of the book:

PART 1: An Introduction to iPhone Programming
 1. Introducing the iPhone
 2. Web Development or the SDK?

PART 2: Designing Web Pages for the iPhone
 3. Making the Web iPhone Friendly
 4. Making the web iPhone Optimized
 5. Making iPhone Web Apps
 6. Using Canvas for Web Apps
 7. Debugging iPhone Web Pages
 8. SDK Programming for Web Developers

These two sections cover what you need to know about getting going in
iPhone web development, including how to use iUI and all kinds of tips
on how to better debug your iPhone web applications.

Access to the MEAP (Manning Early Access Program) and the final eBook
when it is released, are currently being offered for $11.25, half off
the normal price of $22.50. If you'd also like the final printed book
(retail $39.99), you can also order it in advance for 50% off at
$19.99 for the next few days, and still have access to the MEAP as
each chapter is posted and the final eBook as soon as it comes out.

There is also an iPhone 3G Giveaway; all customers who purchase iPhone
in Action prior to July 11, 2008 will be entered to win one (1) 8GB
iPhone 3G. The winner will be notified by email on July 12, 2008. (see
the website for details.)

As these are pre-publication drafts, we are seeking your advice and
feedback on any problems you spot and details on what we are missing
that you'd like to see more of. You can leave comments in the forums
at: http://www.manning-sandbox.com/forum.jspa?forumID=453

We are also right now working on the SDK chapters:

PART 3: Creating iPhone SDK Apps
 9. Introducing the SDK
10. Using Xcode
11. Using Interface Builder
12. Creating Basic View Controllers
13. Monitoring Events and Actions
14. Creating Advanced View Controllers
15. Delving into the SDK Toolkit
16. Web Techniques for SDK Development

We will start making drafts of these available as soon as Apple
releases us from the iPhone SDK NDA, hopefully early next week. We
have chapters 9-14 ready as soon as we are given the go-ahead by
Apple.
