Hi together,
I’m currently reading “iOS-Programming - The BNR Guide”. When I’m finished with this book I want to read more about developing for Mac OS X and about what’s going on in the background. I saw there is a book called “Advanced Mac OS X Programming”.
My question:
Do I need (or should I) read “Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X” first can you understand the Advanced book if you’ve only read the iOS book ?
And are there many things in Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X that I already know or would it really gain my knowledge.
If you are familiar with the Unix Operating System, go ahead and read the “Advanced Mac OS X Programming” book; otherwise, read the “Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X” first, then read the “Advanced Mac OS X Programming” book.
Both books are worth reading, even if you intend to write code for IOS only. Both books are excellent!
The thing is that I am already familiar with other programming languages, the concepts (like OOP or MVC(S)) and so I don’t want to read a “What is Objective-C” or “What is an object” chapter for the 20th time.
I’m reading iOS Programming because I want to get to know the Frameworks and the methods on iOS.
Is that book the same difficulty as “Advanced Mac OS X Programming”?
EDIT: When I posted this I didn’t see the publication date on Amazon: May 27, 2013. Is this a new upcoming version of “Advanced Mac OS X Programming”? amazon.com/More-Cocoa-Progra … more+cocoa
