Introducing the iOS 5 Feast!
At long last, it’s the day we’ve been waiting for – the NDA for iOS 5 has now been lifted! The iOS Tutorial Team has been preparing for months for this day, and we have tons of cool tutorials ready to get you guys up to speed with iOS 5 – plus some amazing announcements […] By Ray Wenderlich.
Third course: iOS 5 Tutorial Month
An iOS 5 Tutorial every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday - for a month!

These new products are all great, but of course they are paid. Don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten about awesome iOS community – we still want to give you guys tons of free stuff!
So I’m extremely pleased to announce that every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in the next calendar month, we will post a free new iOS 5 tutorial!
We designed iOS 5 By Tutorials so that most topics consist of a free part (to be posted here during the iOS 5 Feast) and a book only part. The free part consists of the most critical information you need to know to get started, and the book only portion contains extra details and more advanced information.
So check back here every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for a bunch of awesome iOS 5 tutorials! :]
Dessert: iOS 5 Feast Giveaway
