Great Price "Objective-C Pocket Reference" for $5.14 Today

As an advanced C++ programmer trying to pick up Objective-C (a weird freakin' language if you ask me), I found this little Pocket Reference to be invaluable. For one thing, its really small which I like -- who needs another tome to litter the bookshelves? I find that it is well written, I actually just started reading it from the beginning and found it to be pretty easy to follow. Finally I = [[NSString alloc] initWithString:@"Understand"]; the crazy formatting for Objective-C methods which just looked like jibberish to me at first. Believe me, after 20 years of programming I can usually understand languages that I've never touched before -- I really needed this book to help me get a handle on Objective-C and it did a commendable job.

Negatives: of course, this is not exactly comprehensive. Since I am also learning Cocoa, I would have liked a little more Cocoa material mixed in. I did find that the writing was at times a bit confusing when discusssing some of the more abstruse concepts of Objective-C. And, always, I like lots of real code examples -- perhaps that just isn't feasible in a book this compact.

Overall, this is a very good book for a newcomer to Objective-C. With this in one hand and Google in the other I can get by quite nicely as I write my iPhone Apps.

Objective-C Pocket Reference Overviews

Objective-C is an exciting and dynamic approach to C-based object-oriented programming; it's the approach adopted by Apple as the foundation for programming under Mac OS X, a Unix-based operating system gaining wide acceptance among programmers and other technologists. Objective-C is easy to learn and has a simple elegance that is a welcome breath of fresh air after the abstruse and confusing C++. To help you master the fundamentals of this language, you'll want to keep the Objective-C Pocket Reference close at hand. This small book contains a wealth of valuable information to speed you over the learning curve. In this pocket reference, author Andrew Duncan provides a quick and concise introduction to Objective-C for the experienced programmer. In addition to covering the essentials of Objective-C syntax, Andrew also covers important faces of the language such as memory management, the Objective-C runtime, dynamic loading, distributed objects, and exception handling.

Great Price "Building iPhone Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript: Making App Store Apps Without Objective-C or Cocoa" for $18.53 Today

I read "Building iPhone Apps with HTML, ..." in about three hours. Even with many years of Web and Java development under my belt, I learned a great deal about the nooks and crannies of building applications for the iPhone. I think I finally "got it" as to how these open-source libraries are taking your HTML markup and converting them to apps that can actually be submitted to the Apple Store and sold online. Remarkable. Great book, great read, great examples - I highly recommend.

Building iPhone Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript: Making App Store Apps Without Objective-C or Cocoa Overviews

What people are saying about Building iPhone Apps w/ HTML, CSS, and JavaScript

"The future of mobile development is clearly web technologies like CSS, HTML and JavaScript. Jonathan Stark shows you how to leverage your existing web development skills to build native iPhone applications using these technologies."

--John Allsopp, author and founder of Web Directions

"Jonathan's book is the most comprehensive documentation available for developing web applications for mobile Safari. Not just great tech coverage, this book is an easy read of purely fascinating mobile tidbits in a fun colloquial style. Must have for all PhoneGap developers."

-- Brian LeRoux, Nitobi Software

It's a fact: if you know HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, you already have the tools you need to develop your own iPhone apps. With this book, you'll learn how to use these open source web technologies to design and build apps for the iPhone and iPod Touch on the platform of your choice-without using Objective-C or Cocoa.

Device-agnostic mobile apps are the wave of the future, and this book shows you how to create one product for several platforms. You'll find guidelines for converting your product into a native iPhone app using the free PhoneGap framework. And you'll learn why releasing your product as a web app first helps you find, fix, and test bugs much faster than if you went straight to the App Store with a product built with Apple's tools.

• Build iPhone apps with tools you already know how to use
• Learn how to make an existing website look and behave like an iPhone app
• Add native-looking animations to your web app using jQTouch
• Take advantage of client-side data storage with apps that run even when the iPhone is offline
• Hook into advanced iPhone features -- including the accelerometer, geolocation, and vibration -- with JavaScript
• Submit your applications to the App Store with Xcode

Alternative iPhone Apps - Craig B. Kaminsky - Ouray, CO USA
A fantastic resource for how you can create native-looking iPhone applications that are web-based (and not native to the iPhone). Really great overview of the steps and tools you'll want to utilize for your mobile web-application. Beyond the iPhone, the tools and resources contained within are great for any mobile web-based apps.

Great Price "Learning Cocoa with Objective-C, 2nd Edition" for $34.95 Today

As with most O'reilly books this one is not a let down. I was most impressed to find out that is actually written by Apple Computer and then was handed to James Duncan Davidson to make it flow.

It has a great explanation of Object Oriented programming as it pertains to Objective-C. Although if you are looking to get into OOP for the first time I would suggest a higher-level language such as Java (the syntax can get in the way of learning the concepts and ideas with Obj-C / C++).

The book is titled to cover upto MacOS 10.2. I am using Leopard (10.5) and the only differences (so far) are: the GUI screenshots in the book are, well, out of date; and the default naming conventions for Xcode files are different. Neither of these is a big issue though.

Its a Good book.

A book for Cocoa programmers - Alberto Paderno - Brescia, BS Italy
The book is an useful guide for who needs to learn Cocoa programming, and needs to learn also Objective-C.

Low on details - S. Kennedy - Frostburg, MD
If only Apple put as much effort in its books as it does in its iPods...

This text skips over all sorts of details regarding the Cocoa framework it purports to teach, while repeating many mundane details (like how to create a project) over and over. The authors focus mostly on Interface Builder. If that is what you need, though, I'd still recommend the Internet instead.

Programming in Objective-C Review

This is an excellent introductory book on Objective C programming language as used for the Apple Macintosh and Apple iPhone. It is very clearly written, with good examples, and good exercises that help reinforce the concepts that need to be learned. I used this book to become proficient in Objective C in less than 3 weeks.(Note I have previous experience with C language and the Macintosh programming language so your learning rate may vary) I highly recommend this to those seeking to learn or review Objective C.

Objective-C has become the standard programming language for application development under Mac OS X. It is a powerful yet simple object-oriented programming language that is based on the C programming language. Objective -C is widely available across many operating systems that support the gcc compiler, including Linux, Unix, and Windows systems.

Programming in Objective-C provides the beginner programmer with a complete introduction to the Objective-C language. Unlike other books on Objective-C, it does not assume previous experience with either C or object-oriented programming languages. By using many complete examples and taking a step-by-step approach, the book teaches the reader how to write Objective-C programs on any system that supports the Objective-C language, as well as how to use the Foundation framework to develop portable programs that will run on any system supporting Objective-C.

Beautifully written. Great for starting iPhone Development too!!! - zacware - New Jersey
This book is excellent. If you are new to Apple's development tools, and interested in learning iPhone programming, even if you don't have any previous programming experience. This is a great book to start with. I had my 12 year old read the first 100 pages of this book for a basic programming primer in Objective C and then switch over to reading Dave Mark's equally excellent Beginning iPhone Development - Exploring the iPhone SDK, and by the end of the weekend he had written his first basic iPhone app.

Good introduction to Objective C - ipo -
Overall this is a good introduction to Objective-C. Programmers proficient in C will find some sections rather basic but the authors do say in the preface that no programming experience is assumed. The text is also a good book to read before reading Apple's text.
