In Detail

Darwin, which types the middle set of elements for OS X and iOS, is appropriate with the one UNIX Specification model three and POSIX UNIX. hence OS X and iOS are UNIX working platforms. whereas there are various books and articles written to educate community improvement in a UNIX surroundings there's strangely little devoted to educating community improvement in particular in an Apple setting. during this ebook we'll be protecting the traditional UNIX networking stack with BSD Sockets in addition to Apple's frameworks like CFNetworking and Bonjour.

"iOS and OS X community Programming Cookbook" is a captivating code-focused ebook on constructing shopper and server functions for the iOS and OS X environments. you are going to how to combine a couple of Unix (BSD Sockets), Apple particular (CFNetworking, NSMutableURLRequest, Bonjour) and 3rd get together APIs (AFNetworking, MKNetworking) together with your personal apps.

"iOS and OS X community Programming Cookbook" starts off through displaying you ways to construct either consumer and server purposes utilizing the BSD Socket Library in addition to Apple's CFNetworking library. The pattern code comprises samples for either iOS and OS X.

It then covers how you can upload Bonjour to submit, locate, and fix to prone. this is used to create peer-to-peer functions over neighborhood networks. ultimately it indicates the best way to combine third-party libraries like Libnet, LibPCAP, AFNetworking, and MKNetworking with the reader's apps.

A lot of builders don't realize that iOS is a whole UNIX-based working procedure that incorporates a complete set of networking APIs. those APIs can be utilized to create either patron- and server-based functions within the iOS setting in addition to OS X. utilizing the Apple's Bonjour library you are going to the way to post, locate, and fix the prone jointly with out hardcoding the relationship details. There also are a couple of third-party APIs that may be used to simply attach iOS and OS X functions to web-based prone. eventually this publication will disguise numerous low point libraries like LibNET and LibPCAP at the OS X environment.

"iOS and OS X community Programming Cookbook" will hide a number of UNIX, Apple, and third-party libraries and APIs. The publication will exhibit the person tips to combine all of those libraries and APIs with their applications.
