If only there were books with these kind of testimonials available
for CoreAudio or Quicktime. The documentation, while extensive,
always leaves me feeling I'm not learning, just solving the problem
at hand.
Here's what a couple of others have said:
"Finally, the book I've wanted for years is here! As a graphics
programmer, I appreciate the clear explanations of how Quartz has
packaged the state of the art for mere mortals. As a Cocoa
programmer, I appreciate the clear explanation of which facilities of
Quartz Cocoa is already leveraging. This will become a well-thumbed
resource for all graphics programmers on Mac OS X, whether or not
they're using Cocoa, Carbon, or porting code from another platform."
Dr. Michael B. Johnson, Pixar Animation Studios
"The authors of the book [...] have met the challenge of describing
Quartz 2D in a simply spectacular fashion: this is unquestionably one
of the best API books I’ve ever encountered. The Quartz 2D API’s
elegance, clarity, and power is mirrored beautifully by the authors’
presentation: easy things are easy to understand, while complex
functionality is explained in as straightforward a fashion as
possible. [...] the examples here are, well, exemplary; they’re
chosen to guide the reader from complete naiveté to mastery and are
explained in such a way that the application programmer understands
why and not just how."
Philip J. Schneider, R&D Engineer, Industrial Light + Magic
