From the author of Programming in C,Programming in Objective-C 2.0 provides the new programmer a complete, step-by-step introduction to the Objective-C language. The book does not assume previous experience with either C or object-oriented programming languages, and it includes many detailed, practical examples of how to put Objective-C to use in your everyday programming needs.
Objective-C has become the standard programming language for application development on the Mac OS X and iPhone platforms. A powerful yet simple object-oriented programming language that-s based on the C programming language, Objective-C is widely available not only on OS X but across many operating systems that support the gcc compiler, including Linux, Unix, and Windows systems.

This is my first try at programming in any language. This book is AWESOME!:
I tried reading a few other books that teach objective-c via iphone development before picking this book up. I think this book is a better way to go for Newbies and Beginners. I had no previous background in programming and I was able to follow along with each example with relative ease. If you are just starting out with objective-c or OOP in general you can't go wrong with this book. The only thing that prevented me from giving this a 5 star rating is because of the many typo's and error's in coding.... more info
A good book for the beginner and as a resource:
I am new to objective C, and I found this book to be quite informative. It starts from the beginning, assuming no knowledge of objective C and very little knowledge of C and C++. It is a very comprehensive book, and therefore I can see it as being a good reference. The examples are nice and short, but cumulative and well explained. At the end of the book you get to build an iphone fraction calculator that you developed throughout the book. At the end of each chapter are questions to test your knowledge,... more info
The best you can get !!!:
Well my review is not English native and even when my English is not native I can rate this book as 5 stars which means that EVERY one can read learn and implement code in Objective c when reading this book. If "classes", "object oriented programming" and such terms make you dizzy and sick, this book is certainty for you. This book is well written, flows and everything is understandable, amazing job. On chapter 3 you will start your object oriented programming (classes) and after completing this chapter you... more info
Very good book for beginner:
I was a developer knowing C and C++. I have never known how to program in Objective C. I am interested to learn developing iPhone applications. Reading from blogs and reviews, I learned that the first step is to build a solid foundation on Objective C, and this is how I came to purchase this book. I must say this book has enabled me to achieve my goal. It starts with programming basics, leading to concept of OOP, and eventually dive deep into the foundation framework. I want to give this book a 5 stars. If... more info
