Obviously not mine! ;-) Seems like I've caused quite a stir...
MacOSX ADT has been both a blessing and a curse. Seems it gets people
at all angles - some people really like it - some people appreciate it
to some extent - some people downright hate it - at least they're
talking about it!
I agree completely that the title is a bit in err - seems most of the
criticism is because of this fact - I apologize for that. If I had it
to do over again I would have altered the word "Advanced" from the
title. However, I stand by the content 100%. As I've said in a
different forum, things that were advanced back in the day are no
longer "really" advanced now. Things have changed and OS X makes
programming easier to some degree. The goal of the book was to show
some complete projects that perform certain tasks and are explained as
such while covering a large cross-section of implementations - Cocoa
was not the first thought although it naturally turned out that way.
This book was designed to be a mirror-image of my first book in that
regard. Anyhow, the number of happy customers still outweighs the
disappointed ones in my personal email - just seems the disappointed
ones are more likely to tell the world! :-)
To set the record straight, nowhere in the book is the text
"setTheColorOfMySistersEyes" used - I don't even HAVE a sister so why
on earth would I write such rubbish?
For those of you who enjoyed it - thanks! For those of you who brought
it to the local book-burning - you should have saved your receipt!
Take care,
Joe Zobkiw
