Ok, I'll bite too.
I think the content is fine for the topic/title. I think that the
material covered is just about right for someone who has maybe done a
couple of the Cocoa tutorials, a fair amount of OOP, but knows nothing
of Cocoa itself. (like me :-) )
My main objection to it is that it reads like an Apple book, not an
O'Reilly one. I don't feel the sense of security a solidity that I
usually feel when reading an O'Reilly book. It feels washed over an not
willing to explain and burrow. It reads like what almost a third of it
is... A collection of Apple tutorials.
I hope that this trend does not continue throughout the O'Reilly / Apple
relationship, otherwise the Mac community will truly be missing out on
the chance of some of the most solid and well written books in the IT
world.
