review 1: + broad range of topics+ lots of material for the price+ engaging writing style+ nothing is used that hasn't been explained before+ every discussed topic gets eplained in detail+ concepts are introduced when needed+ practice and theory always go together+ excellent layout- the main problem that comes with this approach:general aspects are heavily intertwined with api specifics,so it's hard to look them up or learn both separately. ifyou wanna get all the precious general advice, you have tonibble through every part of iOS that you may not care about.however, if read from start to finish, this is an understandableand most rewarding read.
review 2: I'm not really sure if the whole 'copy all the code and you'll eventually know how to program' really worked for me.... more The book needs more challenges. Not optional ones at the end of the chapter, but it needs to challenge you while you're reading. I finished it (without doing the optional challenges). I know now where I find stuff in XCode and if things are possible in Obj-C, but I have not learned how to actually do them. less
