Hi,

will soon be buying an apple Mac (need to save a few more pennies first!) and am wondering if someone can recommend a good introductory text for Objective-C and Cocoa development? Something I can read before taking delivery of the new machine; so something quite easy going by way of a gentle introduction please!

Have never used a Mac before and am looking forward to it.

Thanks.

Stephen.

"Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X" written by Aaron Hillegass is a good book (it was for me).

Aye that does look good.

Will order the 3rd edition right now.

Thanks.

Book turned up this morning... looks very good.

Thanks again.

I'm curious how you will look at Cocoa and Objective-C once you have read the book.
To me a lot of things make more sense compared to the way Windows handles things.

I swear I read this twice as "Book burned up this morning..."

I like them already (based upon what I've learned on the web) and I haven't even gotten my grubby filthy hands on a Mac book yet! God's they are expensive... will have to go and offer myself up for some more medical experiments I reckon in order to raise some more funds!

Still my old laptop (a 15+ year old thinkpad) is probably past it's best-before date now anyhow and so I am due a new laptop! A Xmas present to myself... damned if I'm buying any prezzies for anyone else anyhow bah humbug!

I'm not a great fan of Objective C today (I liked the concept when was born), you have to type A LOT, really A LOT.

Well, less than to force objects down PB's throat I'll give you that

But probably it's only a question of getting used to it...
