IOS: creating a “simple” web view application - how?

Question

I am sitting here looking at the development of applications for iphones, tearing my hair, because it is not the way I'm used to from .NET, but a newbie as a generator.

I asked to make this a simple application that has 4-5 buttons at the bottom and then a web browser to fill the rest of the screen. Pressing button 1 will load web page 1, button 2 will load web page 2, etc.

But I do not know how this can be done in Objective-C? Are there some tutorials that cover something like this?

And can you guys recommend any good and free e-books on iphone / objective-c development?

Answer 1

These are good source resources:

Here, which seems specific to your current project: http://www.icodeblog.com/2008/12/19/iphone-coding-learning-about-uiwebviews-by-creating-a-web-browser/

http://developer.apple.com/devcenter/ios/index.action

http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/OOP_ObjC/OOP_ObjC .

There is also a whole series of free video tutorials in the App Store (Stanford courses, etc.).

Answer 2

I cannot recommend free books right now, all books from apress helped me learn the iPhone SDK and Objective-C.

Otherwise, there are many free tutorials on the Internet. Perhaps you should start with something simple.

Answer 3

Start with the UITabViewController and add some tabs, each with a UIWebView. Google "UITabViewController" and "UIWebview" and you will quickly find relevant tutorials.

I prefer to read Apple documentation directly (for free): https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/navigation/index.html

and sometimes pay or borrow additional materials that are new and interesting.
