      Comments about O'Reilly Media Tapworthy:

      One of the best, most well-written technical books I've read, Josh's weighty tome covers the fundamental principles of good app (and User Interface) design.

      Whilst it's mainly focused on iPhone app development, it doesn't attempt to showcase any code samples; it's about the stage before you begin to write the app - the planning, the design, the pitfalls and the execution. As a result, much of the content is appropriate for design of anything that's going to be displayed on a small screen.

      It's a great read, informative, illuminating and completely engaging. Which is why it gets 5 stars

        Comments about O'Reilly Media Tapworthy:

        Tapworthy was a great and valuable read. I found it to be very informative and indeed I used many of the suggestions in my first iPhone app, "Concussion" which was released on the Apple app store recently. I read Tapworthy in iBooks on my iPhone while developing the Concussion App, and wish I had completed the book before I started the Concussion App project!

          When teaching web design it is difficult to find inspiring books to recommend. Look no further! This is easy to read and fully of excellent advice and guidance - it has become my recomended course reader.

            Comments about O'Reilly Media Tapworthy:

            Tapworthy by Josh Clark is a great book that not only looks at how to design an iPhone/iPad app but teaches the reader how to design with the user in mind and make sure their app is addressing their users' needs. Aside from this the reader will find real examples that reinforce the concepts presented inside the book. This book is a must read before even thinking of creating an iPhone/iPad app.
