Back when I was first learning iOS with my first iPhone, what ended up helping me a lot was one of the missing guide books by David Pogue that I got off of BookShare. I of course subscribed to the different iOS mailing lists and poked around online for podcasts and information. Those resources were of course helpful, but my main learning tool was that book. There is something to be said to have a centralized source of information where one can refer to. By the time Jonathan’s iOS 7 book came out, I more or less had iOS figured out. Otherwise, I would have given it some consideration.

Most of us have known Jonathan for years and I can’t really think of many that have contributed as much in numerous ways to our community selflessly. His stuff has always been top notch. I see no reason why he shouldn’t get paid for quality work. People will buy or not buy for various reasons. If you don’t want to buy then don’t but don’t insult the man for selling his good work.

Yes, I know I'm probably opening an explosive can of worms, but I have to call it as I see it.

There are tons of experienced users here who will provide the exact same information without asking you to hand over your money. These are the same people who you know well and contribute daily and not just when they get an opportunity to make money off of us. I too am looking forward to iOS 8, but don't forget that the new users are usually the ones who find all the bugs, which is to say, for those new to iOS, you might not want to install iOS 8 on day of release. I for one plan on waiting for the third release or so since many bugs will have been squashed by then. That is, this is my plan, don't know if iOS will be so tempting that I change my plans. <Smile>.

Last year, I wrote a book called "iOS 7 Without the Eye". The response was just incredible and many thousands of people bought it. I got great feedback, and people have been asking me if I will write one for iOS 8. I'm pleased to say that I've done that, and pre-orders are now available for "iOS 8 Without the Eye". It will be released on the day Apple releases iOS 8, but you can secure your copy today so you can be sure you'll get it on release day. Much more detail about what's in the book, and that all important add to cart button, can be found here. http://mosen.org/index.php/mosen-consulting-ebook-ios-8-without-the-eye/ Thanks to those of you who have been so supportive of my work. I'm so pleased many of you find it helpful and your business means a lot. All the best.
