The Mac Xcode 2 Book

The Mac Xcode 2 Book Review

First off for the people who thought this was a cocoa or obj-c book im sorry to say but you must be the stupiest people on the planet. if you read the title of the book it says XCODE!! which is an ide this book is not about how to program or about any programming lanague at all. If your looking for an intro to Xcode, Want to start programming on the mac using Xcode, or are just curious to see what Xcode has to offer buy this book. If you want to learn about cocoa, obj-c, c++, java, foretrain, cobalt, or martian langauge(some people think because this is Xcode it should talk about programming lanagues) this is not the book for you and if you can't understand that then well im sorry. As for the style of this book if you don't know Andy Inhantko then you shouldn't buy this either this is his style he thinks hes a comedian i don't think hes funny either but i know his style so i knew what i was getting into.

"You have the makings of a hero, you know . . .

"This is a great time to be a Macintosh programmer. Sure, software developers have always been lionized as the true heroes of society -- their movements obsessively tracked in gossip magazines, their achievements recognized in almost obscenely extravagant red-carpet awards telecasts.

"But Apple's own Xcode gives today's programmers unprecedented advantages. Xcode does it all. The system that allows a curious newbie to add a few buttons and menus to an existing AppleScript is the exact same one that Apple uses to build the next version of the Macintosh operating system. Today, we're all playing in either the deep or the shallow end of the same pool. Awesome, isn't it?"

Great book to learn Xcode and Apple Dev Enviroment with - Jeffrey F. Stuckey - Douglasville, Georgia United States
Too bad so many people have no sense of humour. Thank goodness the new bred of code monkeys are not such losers. This is a gret book and ANdy and gang do a wonderful job of oresenting this environment. One of the best books to learn the ins and outs of basic Xcode Dev environment.

great to start out with - the_cow_goes_moo -
I'm just starting to learn how to use xcode and programming languages in general, and I think this book is a great tool for those of us who have no freaking clue as to what's going on when it comes to xcode.
