Hi there,
I'm the Mac editor here at O'Reilly. I'm not Simson's editor, but I know
he and Michael are working on updating their NeXTSTEP book. I'll leave
it to Simson and Michael to comment more on their book.
On another note, there does seem to be a serious amount of information
pain going on here, and I'll agree that better documentation (be it free
online docs or printed material) is needed. The big thing I'm seeing
right now (at least in this thread) is that everyone seems to be digging
for an API reference. Correct? If that's the case, is there anyone here
on this list (Ondra?) who might be interested in writing a "Cocoa
Foundation Classes" book? This can probably be built up from existing
Apple documentation and expanded into something that's much more useful
(and accessible) to everyone.
Any takers?
Meantime, if there are other books you think we should be publishing,
let me know.
Chuck
