About the Author
By day, Michael Daley works for the largest enterprise software company in the world supporting large corporate customers in communications. By night, Michael has taken on the task of learning how to build games for the iPhone. Michael started writing adventure games in BASIC on a Sinclair Spectrum 48k and progressed onto the Commodore 64 and the Amiga A500. Never having lost a passion for game programming, Michael got inspired to learn Objective-C when the iPhone came out, and he set out to learn how to build games for the iPhone.
Having written many games for his children over the years, the launch of the iPhone inspired him to create games for the platform that would be available to more than his children. Michael has a passion for learning new technologies and how to apply them. He's a true Apple fan, spending far too much time and money on the latest Apple equipment.
