iPhone Cool Projects
August 18th, 2009I’ve been published! A while back I wrote a chapter for the Apress book iPhone Cool Projects, and it’s “on the shelves” NOW. The chapter is about, of course, streaming audio on the iPhone. It’s a pretty neat book that consists of a chapter each for seven notable iPhone apps. The authors are a wicked smart crew, I’m not really sure how I got included. Check out the book!
The authoring process was interesting and fun, a great learning process, and more work than I expected. Every day I gain more respect for people who do a lot of writing, blogging or booking. Where do they find the time? And how the heck do they generate well-structured prose so quickly? It ain’t easy, believe me.
Anyway, if you’ve bought the book already, thanks! And if you buy it in the future, thanks! Hope it’s a good read for you.

Fantastic news! Congratulations, Neil! I have yet to get an iPhone (ahem), but I look forward to checking this out. Hope that all is well with you and yours in the meantime. :-)

Hi Neil, I have the book and just gone through all the code, and it works well in most cases. I have one case of where a wifi network at a uni throttles the connection if they are not part of the uni, and this is where the audio fails, but other then that it works nicely. I am now trying to extend it to play streaming playlists. Thanks for the kick-start.
