Bought two books on Friday:
- The iPhone Developer's Cookbook: Building Applications with the iPhone SDK
- Cocoa Programming for the Mac OS (3rd Edition)
Just now delving into them. I read some reviews on Amazon for each. The iPhone Cookbook got adequate reviews; I could readily see the points that some of the bad reviews were making. Nobody seem to notice the large number of misspellings in the book (like using "build" for "built"). I wonder if the author had an editor look at the book at all. I bought it primarily because it was the ONLY iPhone programming book at
Barne's and Noble (the only close competitor was a book on programming for Safari for the iPhone; not quite the same thing).
The Cocoa Programming book starts out really well. I think it'll help dramatically in
my understanding some of the more overwhelming aspects of learning this new programming language. I'll probably review both books later, after I've used them a bit more.
