Synopsis
Beginning iPad Application Development will help jumpstart your iPad development. It covers topics progressively so you learn without being overwhelmed by details. It adopts the philosophy that the best way to learn is by doing, hence the numerous Try It Out sections, which first show you how to build something and then explain how things work.

- reorient the application's UI when the device is rotated or force an application to display in a certain orientation
- using the Table view is to display rows of data and implementing search capabilities in Table view
- using application settings to persist application preferences
