About this title: From the author of Programming in C,Programming in Objective-C 2.0 provides the new programmer a complete, step-by-step introduction to the Objective-C language. The book does not assume previous experience with either C or object-oriented programming languages, and it includes many detailed, practical examples of how to put Objective-C to use in your everyday programming needs. Objective-C has become the standard programming language for application development on the Mac OS X and iPhone platforms. A powerful yet simple object-oriented programming language that's based on the C programming ...

"This is a really nice overview of Objective-C programming, and I also appreciated the format. Having learned C, C++, C# and also Java in my time, I find far too many texts begin with procedural programming, and then tackle object-oriented programming (especially books on languages like C++, which draw from C).
I bought this book because I am a beginner to Objective-C, and want to learn iPhone programming. The book could have done a bit more to explain the graphics frameworks available--there were a few thin chapters on the iPhone at the end of the text. I'm OK with it not being an iPhone guide, but a bit of graphics programming would be helpful.
If there was a book that actually taught some foundational best practices in working with graphics frameworks, these books would produce more functional programmers. Don't leave it to the API guide... we need more than just a list of API calls.
I did enjoy this book, and with the above caveats would recommend it to anyone starting out in Objective-C."
"I've recently dived head-first into the Mac/Objective-C/Cocoa world. I have scads of related titles sitting around my home and office. I've been waiting awhile for this book to come out as I was looking for a good up-to-date reference on the Objective-C language.
As an overview of important concepts and a desktop reference this book didn't disappoint. I basically skimmed the book in about three days and filled a good amount of gaps in my Obj-C knowledge.
One downside to a perspective reader is the nearly-useless iPhone chapters that were added to the end of the book. They are two small to provide much information and seem to merely add weight to an already-quite-thick book. Otherwise, it's a great reference."
