If you already grok OO/MVC concepts quite well, the Hillegass book wastes
less space on stuff you know. If you're new to this framework stuff, the
Apple book eases you in more nicely. Either way, there's enough
differentiation between them I've found both worthwhile in the month and a
half I've been working on a Cocoa project, the Hillegass book rather more
so.
