Yes, a lot of people feel the same way - it is as if the book towards the later (and more difficult chapters) does this and this and "then a miracle happens" and all of a sudden we have the program. What ticked me off the most was the lame (really guys, it is SERIOUSLY lame) bit on sheets. Rather than building large apps, what we needed was a LOT of SMALL apps demonstrating each of the various things important in Cocoa. Yeah, it means more writing, but heck, how many "Inside Macintosh" books were published?

I have the "Developing NeXTSTEP Applications" which is not nearly so stellar (apologies to anyone at Apple who was involved in it).

Cheers,

Lloyd
