I was lucky enough to receive my copy for free at the recent WWDC 2002, which I attended as a student. I can understand some people are frustrated by some errors here and there, but having no background in objective C and having only been taught Java at uni, I could easily work out and fix the errors in code, and have gotten the applications to work with little effort: mostly they are obvious. I would suggest that people not let these slights put them off getting a copy...I am extremely impressed with the incredible power of OSX, and found that I learnt more about OOP through this book over the uni break than my 3 years at uni studying computer systems engineering. Its amazing, that in a few hours I understood the practical meaning of all that deisgn pattern stuff we brushed over at uni this year (like proxy pattern etc, delgates...)


Keep up the good work o'reilly!
