Apple’s Cocoa is required knowledge for anyone who wants to program a Mac or the Apple iPhone. Cocoa is one of the most advanced developer frameworks available, is as much a state of mind as it is a Tool.
Dave Mark is the first author to teach the framework and the philosophy behind the framework. Learn Cocoa for the Mac is a guide for programmers new to Cocoa specifically intended for creating real Mac OS X and iPhone applications, but without suffering the usually painful learning curve.
Cocoa is a rich tool and there’s much to learn, but Mark is able to encapsulate the learning experience and make it both fun and productive.
Whereas a book such as Hillegas introduces Cocoa to increase reader familiarity with it, this book is the first to show budding Mac developers how to get their hands busy with Cocoa to build their own apps!
