DESCRIPTION:
-Still- useful, even for OS X Cocoa development (Caveat: I'm only about halfway through this book right now.)I picked up a copy of this book a couple of years ago, and it sat unused on my bookshelf. I'd even tried selling it at a couple of garage sales, to no avail. I probably wouldn't have ever missed it if I hadn't read Apple's /Learning Cocoa/ as my first attempt at Mac OS X programming. But /L. The best Cocoa book is a NeXTStep book. Tom Garshol So obj-c is c with some extensionsMaybe it is, but after opening most of the Cocoa books on the marked, a lot of people find Cocoa to be quite a distance from c.Mostly because c-code is easy and (for a newcomer) not very abstract in a geeky way. In this book, every c-coder will be familiar with the syntax. There is even sample code which doesn't use
The book by Garfinkel and Mahoney will be the first comprehensive work dealing with the 3.0 Version of the NeXTSTEP in the context of writing programming applications with it. It combines object-oriented programming tools, interface customizing utilities, a multitasking Unix operating system, built-in networking, multimedia connections and Display Postscript for showing on the screen exactly what will be printed out on paper. NeXTSTEP is the central software of the NeXT workstation. It makes programming faster and smoother than on other systems platforms. Garfinkel, an experienced author and Senior Editor of NeXTWORLD magazine, has joined forces with an experienced computer scientist and NeXT User Program Director, Mahoney, to create this authoritative, "hands on" work for all NeXT users and developers desiring to program in this object-oriented environment.. It is so unique, that NeXT Computer, Inc., will be making the 3.0 Version of this software available for users working on other platforms, specifically the Intel 486 PC machines, thereby enormously broadening the potential usership for NeXTSTEP
