“iPhone Design Award-Winning Projects” gives you details about award-winning iPhone apps and about their developer. There are different parts of the book that focus on different apps that fall under the category of the part name. The first part talks about the story of Tweetie and the developer, Loren Brichter, and has images of it’s first look and how it is now. Besides just giving details about the app and the developer, it gives out some code from the app and let’s you use it in your own app that you’re making. Other apps that the book talks about is Facebook, Topple 2, and many others including AccuTerra, Postage, Wooden Labyrinth 3D, Exit Strategy NYC, and Delicious Library.

The book is in six parts, each being a different category for the apps it has in the book. One part, part one, is Innovating Beyond Apple’s Design Standards, While Maintaining Apple’s Logic For Consistency, Clarity, and Usability, which is the part Tweetie and Facebook falls under. Part one talks about how these apps envision the iPhone’s UI and how they are both very different apps. The whole book talks mostly about how much these apps went into detail and change the way that the UI looks and feels, and makes the interface more user-friendly.

What’s good about this book is that you can learn more about these popular apps and also learn about the developer too. You can see how they saw their apps at first, then seeing them with these amazing graphics, smooth animations, nice sounds, and a sweet UI in the App Store right now. It’s pretty neat to learn about how the developer saw their apps first because if you learn about them, then you might go in their path and be successful too.
