    Product Description

    THE #1 BESTSELLING BOOK ON OBJECTIVE-C 2.0


    Programming in Objective-C 2.0 provides the new programmer a complete, step-by-step introduction to Objective-C, the primary language used to develop applications for the iPhone, iPad, and Mac OS X platforms.

    The book does not assume previous experience with either C or object-oriented programming languages, and it includes many detailed, practical examples of how to put Objective-C to use in your everyday iPhone/iPad or Mac OS X programming tasks.


    A powerful yet simple object-oriented programming language that’s based on the C programming language, Objective-C is widely available not only on OS X and the iPhone/iPad platform but across many operating systems that support the gcc compiler, including Linux, Unix, and Windows systems.

    The second edition of this book thoroughly covers the latest version of the language, Objective-C 2.0. And it shows not only how to take advantage of the Foundation framework’s rich built-in library of classes but also how to use the iPhone SDK to develop programs designed for the iPhone/iPad platform.

    4 out of 5 stars A good book for the beginner and as a resource   August 23, 2010
    MrDivine
    I am new to objective C, and I found this book to be quite informative. It starts from the beginning, assuming no knowledge of objective C and very little knowledge of C and C++. It is a very comprehensive book, and therefore I can see it as being a good reference. The examples are nice and short, but cumulative and well explained. At the end of the book you get to build an iphone fraction calculator that you developed throughout the book. At the end of each chapter are questions to test your knowledge, and

    The book does not touch on Xcode. It only shows you enough information to get the code to running. Like the cover says, it is only about the language. The book got four stars out of five because I am not in love with it; however, I would recommend it.


    5 out of 5 stars The best you can get !!!   August 22, 2010

    Well my review is not English native and even when my English is not native I can rate this book as 5 stars which means that EVERY one can read learn and implement code in Objective c when reading this book. If "classes", "object oriented programming" and such terms make you dizzy and sick, this book is certainty for you. This book is well written, flows and everything is understandable, amazing job. On chapter 3 you will start your object oriented programming (classes) and after completing this chapter you will actually code in object oriented, again amazing. Thank you Mr. KOCHAN.


    5 out of 5 stars Very good book for beginner   August 18, 2010

    I was a developer knowing C and C++. I have never known how to program in Objective C. I am interested to learn developing iPhone applications. Reading from blogs and reviews, I learned that the first step is to build a solid foundation on Objective C, and this is how I came to purchase this book. I must say this book has enabled me to achieve my goal. It starts with programming basics, leading to concept of OOP, and eventually dive deep into the foundation framework. I want to give this book a 5 stars. If you are in same situation as me, I strongly recommend this book


    4 out of 5 stars A book with pedagogical support   July 19, 2010
    pierre
    A very well written book which requires, but deserves, a serious effort, especially from novice programmers. It provides a solid foundation in Objective-C. After reading it I felt ready for any Cocoa tutorial.
    You buy not only an excellent book but also a nearly unlimited pedagogical support through the forum [...].


    2 out of 5 stars For newbies only: not very clear and incomplete source code   July 17, 2010

    I'm a very experienced developer and have written in more languages that I care to list. The book, while relatively straightforward in its presentation, is not for knowledgeable developers. Many important issues are avoided in the desire to keep things "simple" for beginners. Also, no complete source code is available for the book. I haven't seen a book like this without free, downloadable source code examples in many years; I never would have bought it if I had known of this limitation. There are several subtle and not-so-subtle issues in Objective-C, but this book spends lots of space on overly basics concepts while glossing over key issues in its efforts to appeal to newbies. The book studiously avoids the subtleties of "self", "super" and reference counting, call by reference vs. call by value, selectors vs. class members, class vs. instance selectors and other issues that can cause crashes and leaks for unwary programmers.

    What was it Einstein said about keeping things as simple as possible but no simpler?
