review 1: This is book offers a great intro to Objective-C. I highly recommended learning Objective-C before Swift, unless you have a strong background in statically typed languages. iOS is written almost entirely in Objective-C, so it's difficult to get anything meaningful done without looking at Objective-C libraries. For example, I found myself falling back to C and Objective-C while mocking around with a markdown parser. Besides being easy to digest, this book does a fabulous job of teaching programming concepts that are applicable in any object-oriented language. Such concepts are rarely found in Swift tutorials, which focus on the syntax and basic CS concepts like types, data structures, and collections, but very little on design and architecture. This is akin to knowing words... more without being able to put them together to form a meaningful sentence.My only critique is that, in some instances, basic but important concepts are overlooked, or assumed to be known to the reader, which is not the case. Great book.
review 2: This is a great book for someone that wants to begin understanding how to program in Objective-C. I had already taken C programming courses several years ago but I had forgotten most of the basics and this book was exactly what I needed to remember them. If you have no experience programming though I think this book will be really confusing because it deals briefly with all the major topics in programming although it is not enough for fully understanding them.With this book you won't be an expert in programming for MacOs nor iOS but it will give you the bases for understanding more advanced books. less
