Book 5: Building iPhone Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript

Creating a native iPhone application is a tedious task: you must learn a new, rather strange language (Objective-C) and get used to the iPhone API to produce a decent application.
Wouldn't you like to take a different approach like creating your application with tools and languages you already know? And if those tools are Javascript + HTML + CSS that would be really compelling, uh?
That's the deal with this book: it shows you how to accomplish the task of creating iPhone applications, (even native ones!) with familiar tools.
