The one book I would really like to see is a book for getting started with xcode. If you are starting to program you need some good worked examples that you can build on. Ever since Hypercard was "steved" There has been a dearth of simple/starting programming environments (and NO real basic and run rev do not even compare to HCs ease of use). Beings I have to learn to use a "proper" programming language I might as well start with Xcode, however, where to start? The documentation is opaque to say the least.

    I know this thread is a couple of months old, but I too would like a simple start to finish xcode book. I'm not new to programming, but I'm new to graphical programming. (I write command line apps and mainframe apps). I did spot this cool sounding class (http://www.macdev.ca/class/class.html) but I'm not going to be heading up to the great north.

    Would coverage of XCode and 'AppleScript Studio' be of help? I used Hypercard stacks/apps more than I developed them, but I remember the language being similar to AppleScript. With AppleScript Studio, you can write fully native Mac OS X applications using AppleScript and Interface Builder.

    AppleScript Studio is a bit of a misnomer though. It sounds like it's a separate ApplesScript development tool, but in effect it's some extra pieces for use in XCode and Interface Builder.

      Michael Cohen and Dennis Cohen just released The Mac Xcode 2 Book. It's just about Xcode, and unfortunately doesn't cover 2.1; it came out just before the release. You can read about the book here (http://www.digitalmedievalist.com/xcode/) .
