Digg this please! The downloads for Chromium are at the bottom of the page.

Now that Google Chrome for Mac finally as a face, I figured I would download and build it.  Using the instructions on the Chromium Mac build page I created a build of Chromium.  While I am sure there will be many changes to the appearance, this is a nice preview.  Click on the Chromium Mac screen shot for a bigger image.

Wow.  I have no idea how the authors did this, but they compressed 2,000 pages worth of information into only 500 pages.  I can usually read 800 page programming books in two or three days, but this book took me five days.  Excellent material, from beginner to intermediate.  The only thing I could say is that this book left me wanting more, and not because anything was missing, but because this book covered so much information, and there is still more to learn.  My only complaint was that it didn’t touch on URL schemes for app to app data transfer with the iPhone or Network I/O.  Thankfully the book made sure I was fully aware of the documentation browser in Xcode so I can read up on these subjects.  Just my two cents, but Dave Mark and Jeff LaMarche, five stars!  Check out Beginning iPhone Development: Exploring the iPhone SDK on Amazon.  I will be starting a new blog about the iPhone and my experiences developing for it since this blog is PHP and web development oriented.  I’ll post the link as soon as its up.

I have been making the move into learning objective-c and how to program for the iPhone (my Christmas present this year).  As a basis for my learning, I know PHP and I am familiar with Ruby (at very least Ruby’s syntax).  I bought the book Beginning iPhone Development: Exploring the iPhone SDK and I began reading it on Sunday night.  Immediantly I realized I wold need more of a primer on C and Objective C.  A quick Google search brought me to a site on learning Objective-C, though that tutorial directed me first to the learn C article on the same site.  After reading those I felt I had a pretty good grasp of the concepts and syntax of Objective-C.  This is now my third day with the book.  I have found Beginning iPhone Developement to be extremly helpful in not only learning how to create apps for the iPhone, but also in using XCode, Interface Builder and Objective-C 2.0.
