If you’re developing applications for Mac OS X, the third edition of Cocoa®
Programming for Mac® OS X is the book you’ve been waiting to get your
hands on. If you’re new to the Mac environment, it’s probably the
book you’ve been told to read first. Covering the bulk of what you need
to know to develop full-featured applications for OS X, written in an engaging
tutorial style, and thoroughly class-tested to assure clarity and accuracy,
it is an invaluable resource for any Mac programmer.
Specifically, Aaron Hillegass introduces the three most commonly used Mac developer
tools: Xcode, Interface Builder, and Instruments. He also covers the Objective-C
language and the major design patterns of Cocoa. Aaron illustrates his explanations
with exemplary code, written in the idioms of the Cocoa community, to show you
how Mac programs should be written. After reading this book, you will know enough
to understand and utilize Apple's online documentation for your own unique needs.
And you will know enough to write your own stylish code.
Updated for Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5, this revised edition includes coverage
of Xcode 3, Objective-C 2, Core Data, the garbage collector, and CoreAnimation.
