Rating:  - Great reference for potential Cocoa developers!
Honestly, I was quite apprehensive because I'm a newbie to programming, with just a passing knowledge of Objective-C (gained from online resources). However, after going through 80% of the book (and looking forward to the next few chapters), I can say that this is definitely a great resource for any beginner who wants to learn how to write Cocoa programs. At the same time, concepts which I first found difficult to comprehend in Apple's online documentation became much easier to understand after they ... Read More
Rating: - This truly is the "Cocoa Bible"
The author is probably the only professional Cocoa instructor, and if not the only, at least the one that's been so the longest. As such, his book is absolutely amazing. The instruction takes you through everything you need to know to start writing your own Cocoa applications. The pace in which he introduces topics is just right. It's structured to make you question things, then he immediately answers any question you might have had. And by the end of the book, you're also taught how to teach yourself ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent introduction to cocoa and native mac programming
A great book to get used to mac programming using ObjC and cocoa. A building stone before being thrown in the forums and other dedicated sites (including exhaustive Apple documentation).
Really a great book when you aim to develop applications on the mac platform. Of course this book is not perfect (too short probably, some part should be developped, ...) but remains nonetheless the best book (and the only one updated for MacOS 10.5) on the subject available to date.
Rating:  - Experiences programmer quicklies learns Cocoa using this book....
I've been programming for over 15 years and I wanted to start programming for both the MacOS and iPhone so I needed a good starting point. I've read a few others books on this subject but I was eagerly awaiting the release of this edition(3rd) for the updated sections on XCode and Objective-C 2.0. Definatly the best book on the subject. If you want to learn mac programming and iphone programming(pretty similar) this book will get you started. The one major thing I didn't like(personally but it might ... Read More
Rating:  - The Rachael Ray of Mac programming
If you have zero programming experience whatsoever and want to dip your toes in the shallow end of the Cocoa pool then I can see how picking this book up might seem like a watershed experience for you. Aside from that, I'm not sure who its target audience is as there is little congruence between its accolades and its content.
There is nothing, repeat, NOTHING, in here that is not in Apple's free tutorials and documentation. While I too strongly prefer physical objects I can hold and highlight ... Read More
