 Well written for folks who don't know C or C++ June 26, 2009

This is a well written book. However if you're a battle hardened professional C/ C++ engineer then this is probably not the book for you. It undertakes the remarkable task of teaching you to program on the assumption that you do not already know anything about C. It deals very well with pointers and functions and all the basic baggage the ObjC (and C and C++) language.
The book is weak however in the area of Cocoa, Interface Builder and XCode. These are the tools that you have to master to be effective in ObjC on the Mac. To be totally fair - the book doesn't claim to be about Cocoa - for that you should look elsewhere.
 A beginner's perspective of this book (with NO prior programming skills) June 21, 2009

I selected this book for my son who wants to write ipod applications, I waded through a myriad of reviews before settling on this one, besides all the great reviews & info I liked that there was a forum to go directly to the author for clarification if/WHEN needed.....
The down side is that a couple weeks after this book came out a new version of Xcode came out so that most of the illustrations will look different than what you will see on your mac!
That is pretty confusing when you have no prior programming language under your belt, if this book gets updated I would recommend it without reservation, & for the more experienced person it is probably okay as it is. Just my opinion as a newbie...............
Great book, pay for less than you get June 17, 2009

This is a well-written book written for even the novice to programming. I have finished Part I and have been thoroughly pleased. Besides the easy-to-understand language (while some concepts are not so easy), the best part about this purchase is the online forum that you can sign up for free. There the other owners of the book discuss the program examples and exercises. Best of all the author himself actively involves himself in the discussions and answers many reader's questions. Getting and using this book is more like participating in a personal study/online classroom experience that solidifies the learning. I highly recommend for those who want to learn the subject.
amazing book June 13, 2009

The book is really awesome if you want to learn Objective C from the beginning. Also it gives you a good kick-start from the beginning if your goal is to understand code you seeing before finishing reading the book.
Excellent Book for Folks New to Objective-C June 11, 2009

For those of us just now getting our feet wet in iPhone development, this book helps enormously. While online tutorials and Apple's tremendous documentation got me started in my efforts to create a great app, this book helped me get past the hurdles.
It explains almost all of the conventions I've come across in the Apple sample code and online tutorials. And the author's tone and style are much easier to take than "textbook-style" programming books.
If you're not an experienced Objective-C programmer, you will not regret buying this book.
