The book is well-planned and logical in its approach. It covers some key items to Cocoa programming in quite detail vs other books.


However, I found errors and my edition (May 2002) doesn't have some of the Jaguar stuff. For example, on Page 323 the author refers to 'Tool' as the New Target for the Project Builder. But my newer version of PB has 5 different tools versus just one. I'm clueless as to which tool to use/develop.


Also, the 'evaluator' example within the Unix environment isn't laid out very explicit. I can't get my makefile to compile correctly. Perhaps it's a missing TAB or SPACE in the code, I don't know. It's hard to follow.


And I can't de-arc the example codes from the web site.


Other than that, It's a good 1st edition that will probably get better in the 2nd edition and beyond. Hence I recommend this book.
