Cocoa Programming
Anguish, Buck, Yacktman
Rating:@@@@@
In what will probably remain one of the rare products to ever get the highest possible Rixstep review rating, authors Anguish, Buck, and Yacktman take the reader on a tour-de-force journey through the world of Cocoa. Three hundred pages into the book they’re still explaining how the system works (by way of comparison, Simson & Garfinkel waste your time with 140 pages about how to click on push buttons) and how you as a developer should regard it. Programming discipline and proper training mean a lot here. Apple have ‘Inside’ books available through Vervante, but they’re famously unhelpful. Cocoa Programming takes the reader through the forest and shows where the trees are, and it covers everything, from advanced views to creating one’s own frameworks, to different techniques for multithreading, and so on and so on through well over 1,000 grueling pages.
Read this very carefully: If you are a professional Cocoa programmer, or a professional programmer planning to take a look at Cocoa, there is only one book you will ever need, and this is it.
