Full color book

Yours for only $21.99

By Janine Warner, David LaFontaine, and Lee Andron

A full-color guide to designing cutting-edge Web sites for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch!

Apple’s touchscreen iOS devices have created worldwide techno-lust, and a hot new market out of thin air.

iPads and iPhones are so in demand they outsell every other device in their category.

With all the focus on the App Store (due to the ubiquitous “There’s an App for that…” ad campaign), you could be forgiven for overlooking the fact that the single most popular app on the iPhone/iPad is Safari. That’s right. The humble web browser.

These devices are so portable, so easy to use, that it is tempting to assume that your existing web site will work just fine on them. Not so!

Rich rewards await the web publishers who actually take the time and effort to optimize their sites for these quirky (they don’t like Adobe’s Flash technology) yet powerful (they can geo-target their users) new content platforms.

In iPhone & iPad Web Design For Dummies, we take a giant leap forward into the future with the latest in mobile design technology and show you how to create aweb site that is fully optimized for use on these exciting touchscreen devices.
