Adobe DRM Headaches
If only I could read it. Great book. I bought the ebook, enjoyed it. Then I rebuilt my operating system and reinstalled software. Now, I can't access the book, and most of Adobe's DRM management support is broken. Adobe, thanks for punishing legitimate consumers.

Great book for the novice programmer
I have always wanted to build my own programs using the latest and greatest programming languages but I didn't know where to begin. I was given this book as a birthday gift and having a little experience in computer programming with languages like Pascal, C#, C and C++ and a little bit of BASIC.

I was trying to do some of the online tutorials and reading books on C\C++ but the author of the book or tutorial assumed that the person learning the language had prior knowledge of the language, which I had none.

I wanted a language that was object-oriented and Objective-C fit the bill, because instead of learning procedures, as you would with C\C++, you learn about objects and how to use those objects in a productive way.

If you want to learn about object-oriented programming, then buy this book then go and read Apple's own book on Objective-C. I am in part 2, Chapter 15, page 315 of the book and have learned a lot since I got the book.

The examples and exercises in the book are very easy to do and understand so you're not sitting at the computer scratching your head trying to figure out what the author is trying to tell you, try to find that in any other book on programming languages.

I find it absolutely amazing how much information can be learned from this book. All I can say to the author is thank you so much for making computer programming fun.

Great book to get started with Objective-C
It focuses on the language and touches on sme specific areas of Cocoa. This book was a great help in learning the Objective-C language. A vetran C++ programmer, I found this book to be a quick way to come up to speed on Objective-C.

The organization is well thought out and clearly written. It would be a great book for a someone who has never programmed in C and for vetrans wishing to learn a new language. The book is easy to read and organized in a manner that makes it quite useful as a reference after reading it.
