Cocoa Programming: A Quick-Start Guide for Developers

Great Price "Cocoa Programming: A Quick-Start Guide for Developers" for $21.75 Today

In my opinion this is a great book for beginners in Cocoa. The author conceptually explains the framework for Cocoa Programming (that is to me more useful then just a programming recipe book). Yes, there are a lot of recipe like books out there for iPhone and Mac programming, but if you really want to learn how things work, this book actually will help fill in the details for you. For example this book really explains 'delegates' and 'first responder' concepts in more plain language to me then other sources I used . Also, in the recent update to the book, the author covers new and important concepts with 'blocks' and 'grand central dispatch' which are new to snow leopard. The book is a big time saver and the price was very affordable (the last I checked) .

Well thought out and not rushed - Brad Hutchins -
Pragmatic has done it again. They once more found an author to truly tackle this ever growing important subject. Cocoa Programming, and not just on the Mac but touches on the iPhone and iPad a bit. Everything is clear and concise and easy to follow. Objective-C can be a bit daunting, but not at the fault of the author just the nature of the beast. But once you get familiar with the language idioms. Things start to fall into place and you just start to get it.

Great modern introduction to Cocoa - Juio E. Barros -
This is a great modern introduction to Cocoa Programming. It covers a lot of topics and really helps you get the idea behind the design decisions of the apis. It is a great overview of the many important aspects of programming for the Mac desktop.
