Best Book Ive Read So Far
| Customer Rating: | | I haven't finished this book yet infact im only on chapter three. Ive read half of The Iphone Developers Cookbook. Reason for half is that i got lost in her examples wouldnt recommend that book for the novice programmer. But this book i think so far is soo good because of the way the author rights, and sets out the programs you begin to understand what is going on. It is set for the old Xcode but is a great introduction to objective C. Would recommend to all novice programmers starting in objective c. |
out of date
| Customer Rating: | the book refers to project builder rather than xcode. admits xcode was on the way when it was written, but says 'these instructions should work fine'. They didn't for me - the output from the first program never appears on screen. I've been googling for answers to this, and discovered the Apple documentation for xcode which I'll now have to study first.
Admittedly it does give instructions for compiling from terminal or windows if you prefer. |
A great book!
| Customer Rating: | | A really great book for learning Objective-C. Buy it and you will not regret it. It contains small (but complete) Objective-C examples for better understanding the language concepts. |
One of the truly great language tutorials
| Customer Rating: | | I first discovered Objective C in 1989 from Brad Cox's original book, but I wasn't impressed and learned C++ instead. Now I have an Apple and Objective C has won me round. I've read Hillegass and the Apple online help and that was OK, but this book really takes you into the language properly. It is very clearly explained and covers all the nooks and crannies that would otherwise trip you up - and had been tripping me up. There are very few great language tutors - and I say that as someone who has tried writing one, and know how hard it is! This is one of them. |
Hey, where's the sixth star?
| Customer Rating: | | If it was possible I would have given this book six stars. It brought me into programming Objective C in a week (I tried to learn C many years ago, but got nowhere)! It's seriously the best book I have ever read on the topic of programming. Kochan takes you through the fundamentals of Objective C programming in an easy and very straight-forward way. When writing my first 100% self-made programs I was stunned that most errors I made were mentioned as possible errors in the book. The examples are also short. That's a big plus, because you can easily execute them in your head, keeping your level of understanding up. Kochan also mentiones special fields that you MUST understand to continue. That's very nice, and probably saved me many times! This book is a MUST BUY for anyone interested in programming in Objective C and especially for the Mac. |
