Programmation iPhone OS 3 cover

In 2009, I wrote one of the first French-language books on iPhone development. Published by Eyrolles, it covered everything from Objective-C fundamentals to App Store publication.

The book was updated and re-edited through three major iOS releases — iPhone OS 3, iOS 5, and iOS 6 — each time reflecting the rapid evolution of the platform.
