Barcodes with iOS7:Bringing together the digital and physical worlds Oliver Drobnik 1st edition

Barcodes are a universally-accepted way to track and share information about products, applications, and businesses. Until recently, however, it's been difficult for iOS developers to take advantage of them without licensing complicated or expensive third-party libraries. With iOS7, Apple has added all the necessary components to make apps that scan, display, and print barcodes.

Barcodes with iOS is the first and only book that comprehensively addresses barcode technology for the iOS developer. It introduces commonly used formats, such as ISBN and UPC codes and provides real world examples that show how to integrate code scanning and generation into apps. This book consolidates information about applicable Apple frameworks in one place so readers can quickly add native barcode support to their existing enterprise apps or start building new apps that help bring together the physical and digital worlds.
