Critics Review
“Entwickler, die sich mit JavaScript beschäftigen, kennen Danny Goodman: Als Autor der ersten Stunde hat er viel zur Verbreitung und zum Verständnis von JavaScript beigetragen. Die Kunst, komplexe Themen verständlich zu vermitteln, beherrscht er auch in seinem neuen Werk, das sich dem iOS 4 SDK widmet. […] Goodman ermöglicht […] dem versierten JavaScript-Entwickler einen schmerzfreien Einstieg mit Objective-C, denn eine durchdachte Struktur sorgt für schnelle Erfolge.” - c’t 2011, Heft 10

To keep up to date on the needs of web developers for his recent books, Danny is also a programming consultant to some of the industry’s top intranet development groups and corporations. Most recently, Danny has been programming applications for Apple’s iPhone and iPod touch platform. As of March 2010, three of his apps, iFeltThat Earthquake, PhotoSize, and BeaconAid- HF, are available on Apple’s App Store. Danny was born in Chicago, Illinois during the Truman Administration.
