With Learning Objective-C 2.0, Robert Clair cuts right to the chase and provides not only comprehensive coverage of Objective-C, but also time-saving and headache-preventing insights drawn from a depth of real world, hands-on experience. The combination of concise overview, examples, and specific implementation details allows for rapid, complete, and well-rounded understanding of the language and its core features and concepts.

There are a number of books on Objective-C that attempt to cover the entire gamut of object-oriented programming, the Objective-C computer language, and application development on Apple platforms. Such a range of topics is far too ambitious to be covered thoroughly in a single volume of finite size. Bob Clairs book is focused on mastering the basics of Objective-C, which will allow a competent programmer to begin writing Objective-C code.

Robert Clair has taken the Objective-C language and presented it in a way that makes it even easier to learn. Whether youre a novice or professional programmer, you can pick up this book and begin to follow along without knowing C as a prerequisite.

I like this book because it is technical without being dry, and readable without being fluffy.
