I would not recommended this book to anyone if you already know how to program. This book is designed for beginners. Even though I know how to program in C and other languages it did a decent job of teaching me at least the basics of cocoa. It then goes into straight programming concepts that are very familiar to a seasoned programmer.

I feel that I need to read a pure cocoa book and unless about the objective-c language after this book.
