Great Price "Xcode 3 Unleashed" for $22.50 Today
I needed a clear description of how to get xcode working with SVN. The chapter on SVN stepped me through it. Not every instruction was precisely correct, but it was close enough for me to get it working pretty easily.

Xcode 3 Unleashed Overviews
Apple’s new Xcode 3 is the most powerful Mac development suite ever created. In Xcode 3 Unleashed, renowned Mac developer Fritz Anderson has written the definitive guide to making the most of Xcode 3 to build any Macintosh or iPhone application.
Anderson leads you through a simple project that covers the entire Xcode 3.x development lifecycle. You’ll walk through building and debugging command-line tools, creating Mac OS X user interfaces, modeling data, localizing languages, compiling applications, and much more. Along the way, he introduces each of Apple’s remarkable development tools from the latest version of Interface Builder to Instruments—a powerful new tool for analyzing and optimizing your code.
Anderson shows how to manage your source code in any environment, whether you’re working solo or participating in a worldwide team. He thoroughly illuminates Xcode 3’s build system and shows how to make the most of Apple’s performance tools, led by the deep and powerful Shark statistical profiler.
Systematically updated for Xcode 3.x, this is a comprehensive revision of Anderson’s previous bestseller, Step into Xcode. Its breadth, depth, and practical focus will make it indispensable to every Mac developer: experienced programmers upgrading from Xcode 2 or migrating from CodeWarrior; UNIX/Linux programmers moving to Mac OS X; even new programmers.

Customer Review
Unacceptable quality - Aiden R. -
This book was not quality checked. Some code is missing, other code is wrong. The first big project does not work, as reported by another reviewer. Each section introduces the code, concepts, visual layout, and then instructions IN THAT ORDER. So the reader gets to jump back and forth repeatedly, making the quality issues much more frustrating.
It's sad that modern computing books have so many errors, but I think we're all used to it by now. This book is much worse than expected. It says SAMS but I think it's actually by Wrox. It's THAT bad.
Not for inexperienced developers - K Trimbach - Mid-Atlantic, USA
In his introduction, the author states that he designed the book to be useful for both experienced developers and those new to OS X. In this it must be said that he failed. It is not possible for an inexperienced OS X developer to follow the examples in this book without a lot of extra help. Some of the difficulty in this lies in the poor editing job that SAMS does: missing code, rearranged paragraphs, are just a couple of the editing issues. Several times I could not understand something and only after giving up and going on did I find it explained a paragraph or 2 further along. And there was NO troubleshooting help when things didn't work.
On the plus side, if you are familiar with OS X development, this is a good course in learning how to use all the different features that XCode 3 provides. So if you read the title and ignore the introductory exaggeration, this book can be a good tool for the right developer
