Re: Book for expert programmer about cocoa and Objective-C

Sorry if this is tangential to the topic at hand, but I was wondering if there are any recommendations for an 'expert' level reference for graphics programming on both AppKit and UIKit. So far I have tried Bill Dudney's and Marcus Zarra's Core Animation books, but feel that there's more to it th

Well, I’m part of the trio. But I always feel bad that they don’t get the credit they really deserve. :-) On Apr 4, 2011, at 1:02 AM, Max Stottrop wrote: > OK, I'll keep this in mind. I just saw your name at Amazon, so i thought > you'd be the author. > > Am 04.04.2011 um 06:18 schrieb Scott

Re: Book for expert programmer about cocoa and Objective-C

No, not at all. I had nothing to do with the book. I didn’t even get a pre-release copy to read. I even bought my copy. (Although I think Erik offered to send me one) I try desperately not to read third party books that cover areas I do until I’ve done so. I don’t want to be influenced, even b

John’s kind. A) You’d be hard pressed to find it in any form other than electronic. Even I only have a single copy. I think Erik hoarded the last few. b) It is 8+ years old. A lot of it is dated in that new additional have been made to those classes. c) As John said, it doesn’t cover new capabil

Would you say to get Cocoa Programming by Anguish, Buck, & Yacktman (circa Sept 2002), or get Cocoa Programming Developer's Handbook by David Chisnall (circa Jan 2010), which according to Amazon is the "newer version" of the book??? - h On Fri, Apr 1, 2011 at 13:01, John Pannell wrote: > Even th

Even though it is getting on in age, I really like Anguish, Buck and Yacktman's Cocoa Programming... http://www.amazon.com/Cocoa-Programming-Scott-Anguish/dp/B000212NUM/ref=sr_1_7?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1301687411&sr=1-7 Once you've completed the beginner stuff, this provides a very thorough look a
