Maybe five years ago, somewhere in 2003 I bought two Cocoa books just
to have my options open. Back then I wasn't sure if I was going to move
my MacOS 9 applications to OSX with Carbon or Cocoa.

Since I picked Carbon, the Cocoa books just waited and colected dust on
my bookshelf until September of this year when I decided to find out if I
can do something about iPhone. Here they are: Learning Cocoa with
Objective-C, by James Duncan Davidson and Cocoa in a Nutshell.

.

And just recently I discovered a link to Learning Cocoa with Objective-C
at O'reilly Commons. Cool.

[delovski]

At some point I looked arround and realised that over the years I created
fairly large Cocoa library without even trying. Most of my Carbon books
were both Carbon and Cocoa books. Or, maybe even Cocoa books in dis-
guise!

.

These two books helped me a lot when I first started looking at Xcode. As
an old CodeWarrior fan I must admit that I hated Xcode 2 when I spend
first few minutes with it. Everything seemed wrong and without these books
I would have probably given up. OK, today I really enjoy using Xcode 3,
and I think people at Apple did a great job with Xcode so now it became
awesome and some features are stunningly amazing but back then...

[delovski]

And here are two more Carbon/Cocoa books I had before I started fiddling
with Cocoa. QuickDraw is dead. Long live Quartz!

.

[delovski]

Here some more books useful both to Carbon developers as well as to Co-
coa programmers. Amit Singh is probably one of those incredible super
humans one could find in comics. I have no idea how he found the time to
investigate and study all that stuff he has put into this masterpiece.

.

[delovski]

Hey, there's a forum for "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X" at The
Big Nerd Ranch. And at Borkware, Resources for Advanced Mac OS X
Programming, source code and errata.

.

So, these last eight titles were my Carbon/Cocoa books I bought before
I started learning Cocoa and Objective-C. Back then I was thinking that I
was buying Carbon books but now I look at them more as great Cocoa
resources.

How convenient!

I already wrote about them in my Carbon thread so here I essentially
just reposted those colorful images.

[delovski]

And then in the summer of 2008 it occurred to me that it would be real
pity not to try something on the iPhone after all those years on the Mac
platform.

Since I knew nothing about Cocoa, doing the same trick as I did on Wind-
ows seemed logical and that is why I decided to buy every Cocoa/iPhone
book out there. That is how I started with the book I have seen everybo-
dy recomends, Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X, by Aaron Hillegass.
The name was familiar so I bought it instantly.

Source code can be downloaded from here.

.

The next book that immediately drew my attention on Amazon was iPhone
Open Application Development by Jonathan Zdziarski. Unfortunately it
was out of print at the time, and unfortunately I just had to be so smart
and locate a few available copies on Amazon UK. So I ordered the book
over there. Then, maybe in less than a single week second edition became
available. Eventually, I'll buy that as well.

Errata for the book. Confirmed & unnconfirmed errors.

[delovski]

Later I managed to find a classic work, exceptional book Cocoa Program-
ming, by Scott Anguish, Erik Buck & Donald Yacktman.

This one is a heavily recommended cocoa book that almost anyone must
have in order to understand much more than the basic concepts described
in other books. It has more than 1000 pages, it is out of print and probably
won't be reprined any time soon. Used copies is all you can get these days.

.

To learn the language that was so similar to C but felt so strange I bought
next Programming in Objective-C by Stephen Kochan.

[delovski]

Things get out of control at this point. Every other week there was a new
title available so I continued with The iPhone Developer's Cookbook:
Building Applications with the iPhone SDK, by Erica Sadun.

.

Next Cocoa/iPhone title that came out at Amazon was Core Animation for
Mac OS X and the iPhone: Creating Compelling Dynamic User Inter-
faces, by Bill Dudney. Pragmatic edition and it shows: less than 200 pages.
Still, a very interesting title.

[delovski]

Not really a Cocoa title, but anyway relevant to iPhone developers so I did
order it just to be sure I'm not missing something usefull here: Profes-
sional iPhone and iPod touch Programming: Building Applications
for Mobile Safari, by Richard Wagner.

.

And finally something I've been waiting for all along, Beginning iPhone
Development: Exploring the iPhone SDK, by Dave Mark & Jeff LaMar-
che. So far this is the ultimate introduction to iPhone SDK.

[delovski]

During Christmas holidays I installed iPhone SDK and this is the main book
that I used to guide me trough it.

When I compiled and tried the example on page 108 it all went well. Then
I continued reading the text. It said: "Select Build ... and you'll see that we
get a linking error _CGAffineTransformMakeRotation."

I was confused at first. Googling for the book title together with the words
Core Graphics and framework found the Errata page. Turns out it was
the case with previous SDK versions. Not any more.

Official support: Dave and Jeff’s Excellent iPhone Support Page

"Welcome one and all to the official support page for our latest book,
Beginning iPhone Development. We're your hosts, Dave Mark and Jeff
LaMarche. Happy to have you on board."

Slashdot: Beginning iPhone Development

"When my wife got an Touch several months back, the first thing I wanted
to do was build some applications for it. Who wouldn't want to play with a
device that has accelerometers, position sensors and multi-touch gestures?

But being new to the Mac world, I needed something to help guide me
along. Beginning iPhone Development aims to be that guide. But does it
live up to the challenge of teaching a newbie Mac and iPhone developer?"

And I found this site (markj.net) - Best Books for iPhone Development

"Hi, I’m Mark Johnson, this is my blog, just a selection of this and that for
reference.

Programmers of all backgrounds are flocking to iPhone development, and
many of us don’t have a background programming for the Mac, which me-
ans there is a lot to get to grips with. Thankfully some brilliant iPhone dev-
elopment books are out"

[delovski]

Somewhere between Christmas and New Year I was in a local book store
where I noticed several Mac programming books. Well, I am not about to
start writing games and I already have previous book by Fritz Anderson
about Xcode so at first I didn't think I'll buy any of these two books. Then
I started browsing them just to see I am missing something so after some
20 or maybe even 30 minutes in that bookstore I realized that Xcode 3
Unleashed is one extremly cool book.

It is very well done with all the fancy illustrations in full color and packed
with huge amount of descriptions of latest Xcode features.

.

So I picked OpenGL Programming on Mac OS X, by Robert P. Kuehne
as well. Who knows? I might need it.

[delovski]

There came the point of no return so I continued monitoring Amazon for
new titles. Next interesting item that came out was Learn Objective–C
on the Mac, by Mark Dalrymple & Scott Knaster.

.

Together with this lemonade book on the left I ordered this odd looking red
warrior from distant past. iPhone in Action: Introduction to Web and
SDK Development, by Christopher Allen & Shannon Appelcline.

Forum: iPhone in Action - "Welcome to the Author Online Forum for iPh-
one in Action by Christopher Allen and Shannon Appelcline. During the MEAP,
we welcome reader comments and errata. The authors will be monitoring
this forum and will respond as time permits." Or download the code.

MobileOrchard.com: A link to the more elaborate review of this book.

[delovski]

New book by Jonathan Zdziarski is here: iPhone SDK Application Deve-
lopment: Building Applications for the AppStore. The preface is worth
the price of the book. Such rants are rarely put into print and can be usual-
ly found on the webonly. This book is an exception. The rest of the book is
a work of someone with a lot of iPhone development experience.

.

And here's another book by the same author: iPhone Forensics: Reco-
vering Evidence, Personal Data, and Corporate Assets. Not really a
book for developers, but interesting read for anyone playing with the iPho-
ne.

[delovski]

A new book by Maher Ali came from Amazon: iPhone SDK Programming:
Developing Mobile Applications for Apple iPhone and iPod touch. The
content apears to be quite well written, but printers ruined code listings with
proportional font.

.

And here's another book by Jesse Varsalone: Mac OS X, iPod, and iPhone
Forensic Analysis DVD Toolkit. Just another just-in-case type of the book.

[delovski]

A great book just arrived: iPhone Application Development For Dum-
mies, by Neal Goldstein. Some people don't really like that type of books,
but this one is a very special book. Admittedly, there is less "meat" than
in any other iPhone development book out there, but it holds your hand
through a lot of basic stuff other books take for granted or just skim over
in a chapter or two.

Considering that most would-be iPhone developers never programmed in
Objective-C or Cocoa, never used Xcode and, to make it even harder, ne-
ver even used Macs before starting with iPhone development, it is hard not
to underestimate potential market for this book. This will most definitely be
a true bestseller among the iPhone books.

Once you read it, you'll be much better prepared for all the other serious
books I have listed here.

.

And, The Definitive Guide to SQLite, by Mike Owens.

[delovski]

New book just arrived: iPhone Games Projects, by PJ Cabrera.

Supplementary Material Download and the book's Forum. After a
few days with the book I think I am very glad I bought it. The first chapter
is fascinating, yet very simple. The second chapter is about downloading,
parsing and even uploading XML files using RESTful services.

.

And, iPhone Hacks: Pushing the iPhone and iPod touch Beyond
Their Limits, by David Jurick, Adam Stolarz & Damien Stolarz.

[delovski]

Another book just came: iPhone Cool Projects, by Gary Bennett. Judging
by the topics in it, I am glad I have Advanced Mac OS X Programming
and all those Unix programming books I can consult to further clear up
topics from this one. What these other books like Beginning Linux Prog-
ramming, Programming with POSIX Threads, TCP/IP Sockets in C
and Linux Programming by Example cover in much more depth, this ex-
ceptional work by several authors puts into context of iPhone development.
Pretty cool.

Link to Offical page provides source code, short description and errata.

.

And another one of those just in case books: Developing Hybrid Appli-
cations for the iPhone: Using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to Build
Dynamic Apps for the iPhone, by Lee S. Barney.

[delovski]

Just came from Amazon: iPhone SDK 3 Programming: Advanced Mobi-
le Development for Apple iPhone and iPod touch, by Maher Ali. This is
second edition of his previous iPhone title that came only six months after
it, but the first book needed a revision so badly. Now it is truly a remarka-
ble book, essential piece of resource for any iPhone developer.

Link to the source code.

.

With it came this book with essentially the same title: iPhone SDK Pro-
gramming, A Beginner's Guide, by James Brannan. Here's the link to
Source code & Video tutorials.

This is another book in desperate need of second edition. The author seem
to know how to teach and how to present the subject from several angles,
but the problem is he started learning Objective-C at the same time when
he started writing this book and it shows. And especially in the first few
chapters. Book becomes better with every page, so it has potential, but I
think that technical reviewer or lack of time are responsible for the poor
start.

[delovski]

Something new and fresh: Cocoa Design Patterns, by Erik M. Buck &
Donald A. Yacktman. As I randomly turned pages everything seemed as
both known and familiar and at he same time new and different. There's
so much to discover with the help of this book.

Source code at: CocoaDesignPatterns.com

.

And with it I bought another very special title, Zero Configuration Net-
working: The Definitive Guide, by Daniel Steinberg & Stuart Cheshire.

[delovski]

iPhone SDK 3: Visual QuickStart Guide, by Duncan Campbell. So far
all the other books I have presented something unique I haven't found in
any other book. I can't be sure but it seems as this is the first iPhone de-
velopment book that I have where I couldn't find anything new after seve-
ral hours with it. Obviously, I can't be sure after only browsing it for a whi-
le, but as it seems, it will take a while before I give this book some more
time again. New iPhone titles are appearing so fast these days.

.

Another cute little book: Programming the iPhone User Experience,
by Toby Boudreaux. A link to the source code of the book's examples.

I can't say that I love this book, but I really like it. It is very short, but it
has a lot of very interesting and even quite revealing paragraphs with co-
de or comments that I found only in this book so far. On the other hand,
most code examples lack some deeper story or little bit of extra explain-
ations. Most of the listings are not complete and require download in case
you want to actually try them.

I read it from cover to cover in the evenings of a single week.
