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.]]>
