After starting “Building Cocoa Applications: A Step by Step Guide,” another O‘Reilly title, and “Cocoa Programming for Max OS X” by Aaron Hillegass, I had to set them aside because they were filled with info that I was not looking for, ready for, or was not explained in a clear format--I felt lost and discouraged that I was not learning anything while I was reading them.


I picked up “Learning Cocoa with Objective-C, 2nd Edition” and read it from cover to cover without doing any examples, but I understood them like I was the one who created them. The book, although a bit simple in some parts (even for me), was straight forward and clearly understandable. The code that was being written was explained in detail, and there was nothing in there that was not part of the scope of the title. The book was a refreshingly clear read about “Learning Cocoa with Objective-C.”


I am ready for MR. James Duncan Davidson to write the next level Cocoa Programming book, because I need all the help I can get--hands on training would be great--any takers?
