Cocoa Recipes for Mac OS X (2nd Edition) Overviews

Completely revised edition, now covering Snow Leopard!

Springing from the original Vermont Recipes Web site, where many of today’s Cocoa developers got their start, Cocoa Recipes for Mac OS X, Second Edition is a programming cookbook that shows you how to create a complete Mac OS X application. In this updated edition, author Bill Cheeseman employs a practical, step-by-step method for building a program from start to finish using the Cocoa frameworks. He begins by creating the project using Xcode and designing and building the user interface with Interface Builder, and then he fills in the details expected of any working application, such as managing documents and windows, setting up the main menu, and configuring controls. Later recipes show you how to add important features such as a preferences window, printing, a Help book, and AppleScript support. The book concludes with a discussion of deployment of your finished product and steps you can take to explore additional features. Equipped with the expertise and real-world techniques in this book, programmers with some knowledge of C and Objective-C can quickly master the craft of writing Cocoa programs for Mac OS X.

• Written for C and Objective-C programmers who want to tap the extraordinary power and flexibility designed into the Cocoa frameworks, as well as for experienced Cocoa developers looking to extend their skills.

• By following the book’s recipes for creating a complete Cocoa application, readers can retrace the same steps to write any document-based Cocoa program.

• Includes the latest techniques for writing Cocoa applications for Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard.

• Project source files are available on the Web at www.peachpit.com/cocoarecipes.

Customer Review

Very good for people new to Cocoa! - Jos van Roosmalen - The Netherlands, Europe
I am new to Cocoa & Mac OS X Development.

This book is one of the fastest/easiest ways to get a Cocoa feeling.

I really enjoyed this book. By following this book, you will develop a real Cocoa application. All steps are clearly documented (what/how/where etc).

This book is not written for experienced Cocoa developers. For this people, this book would be probably to easy ('I know this already').

An unusual and very practical approach, but not for everyone - Ben Haller - Foster City, CA
This book takes an unusual approach that some people seem to like and others don't. The entire book is devoted to building a single Cocoa application, step by step. Each step builds on what has come before, so you really can't jump around in the book at all. And the book is entirely example-driven; there is very little text talking about higher-level concepts, principles and design. If you learn best by example, and you want to see a large, high-quality application in Cocoa built from the ground up, then this book might be very good for you. Others will probably find it frustrating.
