Episode 22 - Bill Dudney on Map Kit and his book “iPhone SDK Programming”
Bill Dudney of Gala Factory is the author of the “Using Map Kit” screencast and co-author of the Pragmatic Press’ book “iPhone SDK Programming.” In this interview, we talk about map kit, its programming model, map annotations, routes, terrain maps, optimization similarities with table view programming and Google and Apple’s collaboration. We also discuss the treacherous path getting his book to market including shelving the mostly finished project when it seemed the NDA would never be rescinded and having Apple announce 3.0 just as the book was ready to go to press.
