Question by vizuledude: What is the best books to learn iOS iPad software development for someone with little programming experience?
In the past I have done some visual basic programming and I’ve taken a course on C++. I have been trying to learn iOS through “iPad Application Development for Dummies” and found the material at times to be very unclear and even possibly incorrect. I would like to hear some recommendations for books/training materials that would make the most use of my time and shorten the learning curve as much as possible. Thank you in advance!

iPad Book producer Appucan (http://www.Appucan.com) has released two new books in its ongoing Art Series. The two iPad books, Deconstructed Faerie and Missing in Silverlake, are now available through the Apple iPad app store.

Deconstructed Faerie contains 98 haunting images mashed together through sampling over 13,000 web images. An algorithm containing specific key terms was deployed to search the web for images. Among the terms used were fairy ring, dwarf, crystal, cave, roots, branches, dirt, stones, clouds, eyes, and others.

A second automated procedure ran a randomized algorithm combining and then re-combining images until 300 new, original works remained. Of these, the artist selected 98 for the Deconstructed Faerie iPad book and composed original music to accompany each of these haunting images.

In June 2011, Deconstructed Faerie was previewed at the Secret International Outdoor Arts and Film Festival and received the Best New Media presentation award.

Appucan is using 100% of the net profits of Deconstructed Faerie to help construct a prototype Eyewriter computer system to enable paralyzed people to operate their computer through eye movements.

Deconstructed Faerie is by N_7000 & The Cohort of Disembodied Artists, Blackburst Lodge and is available via http://www.DeconstructedFaerie.com and the iPad app store for $ 9.99.

Missing in Silverlake is a set of 115 lost (and found) pet posters collected over a 15-year period by Los Angeles-based Film and Television Editor Lindsay Mofford.

The posters, shown exactly as found taped and stapled to walls, street lamps, telephone poles, and elsewhere show sometimes desperate, sometimes indifferent, sometimes humorous, and often heartbreaking efforts to locate lost pets.

I was drawn to the hand-made personal folk-art approach so many of these posters contained, says Ms. Mofford.

The majority of the posters were collected in the Los Angeles area, specifically around Silver Lake.

Missing in Silverlake is available via http://MissingInSilverlake.com and the iPad app store for $ 2.99.
