I’ve done a bit of iPhone development (3 apps in the appstore currently) but the interface has been pretty plain. I’ve used the stock components for the most part (UITableViewController, etc.) with a little bit of customization, but for the most part everything looks pretty generic. I’d like to get started developing apps with a richer user interface, but haven’t found any good resources to get me started.
What resources have you all come across that outline how to create more advanced iOS interfaces (both iPhone and iPad)? Books? Blog entries? Just looking at the apps I have installed right now, some of the interfaces I’ve been very impressed with are the ESPN Score Center, XFINITY TV, Facebook, etc.
What about 3rd party interface component libraries? Are there any you recommend that provide more advanced interface components than those in the stock iOS library?
I’d love to take a look at any resources that you recommend for getting started.
I love Ray Wenderlich’s tutorials. He’s got one on Core Graphics which allows you to draw your own Table Views with headers, buttons, and bezier-curved footers!
