Programming Book Idea

I think a cool type of programming book would be a “cookbook” of sorts, in which there were 100 or so “recipes” that each taught a single concept.

iOS-related examples:

  • Using online JSON to make objects
  • Saving user-created images
  • Sharing to Twitter
  • Querying a database (most likely using fmdb)
  • etc.

I think it would make it easier to break down the task of learning to program into bite-sized chunks that could each be understood inside and out all on their own.
