[Pythonmac-SIG] book recommendation

[Dethe Elza]

Hi David,

While no one book covers all of Cocoa, going through a book can help  
give you a "feel" for how Cocoa programs come together.  I've often  
caught myself making things *way* more difficult than they need to be  
before I discovered the Coccoa Way To Do It.  I'm still learning the  
Cocoa Way, but it is worth the effort.

I've found that both the Hillegass[1] and Garfinkel[2] books were  
worth reading, as have quite different approaches and cover different  
parts of Cocoa to some degree.  I've heard good things about the  
Anguish[3] book, and while I haven't read it, I have read his earlier  
book and have high expectations of this one.

Finally, keeping something like AppKiDo[4] around can help you  
navigate the Apple documentation more readily.

I hope that helps.
