Well, as you all might know by now, I’m trying to take my first steps in iOS development. And if you read my previous post, you have already noticed that I was playing with some color schemes. After a while though I ended up settting my colors in all different kinds of places. When I wanted to change one color, I noticed I had to modify my code in 10 or more places. Sure, there must be an easier way to write more maintainalbe code, and Categories seem to be helping quite a bit.
For those of you who didn’t know it … a few weeks ago I went to the iOS Bootcamp organized by the folks at Big Nerd Ranch Europe. The course was exactly what I needed to get me started on my own app. Some pieces of the Puzzle came together quite nicely during the course, but … I wanted more.
The last few weeks, I have been reading a new iPhone Programming related book from the guys at The Big Nerd Ranch, and I have to say, it has been one of the best books on the topic I read so far.
This book is a great resource for developers who are interested in Apple development. In my opinion, it is one of the best Apress books on the subject of Mac development.
If you’re completely new to OSX development, then I reckon this is a very book to get you started. Follow it up with a few classics from Aaron Hillegas and Marcus Zarra and you’ll be up and running in no time.
After Stefaan’s excellent book review Cocoa Programming, this is another book review. This time I’d like to review the followup to one of the best iPhone development books out there.
This is the first in a series of book reviews on Mac / iPhone Programming, Objective-C and Cocoa. This book should get recommended to everyone who is starting with Objective-C and Cocoa.
