Learning Cocoa

October 14th, 2008

So, “Cocoa Programming For Mac OS X” by Aaron Hillegass arrived in my mailbox today. I’ve read the first three chapters and done the exercises, and so far this book is truly amazing. I really do understand the reason this book has the reputation of being the definitive beginner’s guide to Mac programming.

I have previously tried several tutorials on learning Objective C/Cocoa/XCode/Interface Builder, but never really grasped it the way Aaron already has made me do. The book is incredibly well written, focuses on what’s important, and makes me feel really clever when I manage to make something work. “Cocoa Programming For Mac OS X” is heartily recommended for anyone wanting to learn to program “the Mac way”.
