bookshelves: currently-reading
I am disappointed with this book so far; the examples are poor and it's not structured well for learning. It does not include nearly enough examples of how one would use Core Data for a variety of examples, and only devotes 2 short chapters to the basics before diving into advanced topics. I bought this book hoping to take my understanding of Core Data to the next level after starting with Aaron Hillegass's book (which just barely scratches the surface) and this book is not helping. I need something in between to really cement my understanding and help build my mental model of Core Data and how it works, as well as good examples of its use in a variety of projects. This book does not help. It may be helpful for those who already understand Core Data and need coverage of advanced topics. It assumes the reader is an experience Cocoa / Objective-C programmer, which is probably fine given the more advanced audience it is written for.

Very disappointed. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78309238 Breaking the Spell: Religion as a Natural Phenomenon (Hardcover) by Daniel C. Dennett
