Introduction

As an introduction to interface design and development on the iPhone, it's important to learn about the basic skills that we'll need to be comfortable with in order to tackle our first design project.

We'll dive into more technical topics later on, but first we'll start by discussing the different tools of the trade, hardware features that we'll need to focus our design around, and placing our design work on an actual device.

In this chapter, we'll tackle these introductory lessons and gain a foundation for what it will take to jump into the world of iPhone and iPad application user interface design.
