Will there be updated version of "Learning Cocoa With Objective-C"?
I want to learn to progrma in Cocoa and Obj-C from scratch, altough I can program in C and C++ a little (and VERY,VERY slightly in C#). I also love O'Reilly books. I found book "Learning Cocoa With Objective-C" on your site and I flipped through some pages on Google Books, but still, I don't know how outdated this book is - it is from 2002 and I have leopard and XCode3. I want to ask you -
1) will you make some 3rd version of this book?
2) if not, should I buy this book or wait for Leopard's version of not-O'Reilly "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X"? I don't know even the basics of Cocoa, altough I can write a little app in XCode, that makes "beep" sound when clicked on button :)

Hi Kaja,
Unfortunately, we don't have any plans for an updated version of Learning Cocoa with Objective-C. The 2nd edition is from 2002 and you're right, it's a bit outdated. It uses Project Builder (pre XCode) for the code and there are a couple of examples that won't compile in XCode, so it can be a little frustrating to learn from.

Inappropriate?OK, thanks for reply... I already thought so :( I guess you don't have any other "from-scratch" obj-c and cocoa books? -
Inappropriate?Hi Kaja,
Two of the chapters from Learning Cocoa with Objective-C are available for free online if that helps you make your decision:

Also, I found this blog post to be helpful for recommending some other Objective-C and Cocoa books:

Perhaps you could post your message there as well and see if others have suggestions.
I'm sorry O'Reilly doesn't have anything more recent that meets your needs.
