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.

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 More...

A very well written book for all audiences. I would highly recommend this book for anyone who isn't already familiar with the C programming language. In fact a very large portion of the book is spent going over the basics, but like most OO developers I haven't written a C program in a decade so going back over the basics was beneficial. The chapter on memory management could have been explained better, fortunately the iphone developer's website does a great job covering this topic.

The section on the language core is well described through object oriented principles, although the rest of the book is lacking in relevance. And why still, when absolutely no one needs to write math classes and functions anymore, must all the examples be of this nature. It may be consistent but it's not at all useful.
Read it for Part 1, get other book to learn how to use the frameworks and iOS.

Really nice book for beginners in the Objective-C language. I've made my first steps in the development for Mac OS X and iOS with this book. My mark is 4, because I alredy have had some experience with other programming languages and some chapters for me was really boring :)

Not a review at this time, simply a comment. I began reading the previous edition of this book, but I recently acquired the second edition, so I've switched over and am continuing in the new edition.
