The only Cocoa book that shows how to build a complete functioning Macintosh application from start to finish.
- This book explains Objective-C and Cocoa techniques all in the context of building a complete application.
- Bill Cheeseman is well-known and respected in the Mac developer community and has written two popular AppleScript Utilities.
- This cutting-edge book is based on Mac OS X Snow Leopard but the example application will also run on Mac OS X Leopard.
The first edition of this book came out in November 2002. Cocoa and Objective-C have come a long way since then and the Mac OS X market, including the number of Mac developers, has expanded exponentially. Apple's Cocoa documentation and sample code has also kept pace with this development and the author cites available Apple developer documents and code examples for each of the technologies discussed. This is a book about coding for the Mac. It takes a reader through the process of building a complete application using Cocoa and Objective-C. It also covers the most general and important new technologies, such as Core Data, Core Animation, Spotlight, Quick Look, UTI's, and Code Signing. Reader of this book will come away with a thorough understanding of what it takes to build complete applications.
