HEllo,
Well Im following the book as well and the chapters you mention are really interesting and short, the problem is that some chapter are related so it happened to me that I skipped one and I saw that it was related with the prior project.

Hi,
Let's say I have a plan for a simple app. Nothing too fancy, in a way. To name an example, it could be one like ShoveBox or Things. Mine is probably simpler than those. (It will be a good looking UI and icon that will be more trickier part for me.)
I've already read more than half of Hillegass (3rd edition) and now I need to know what chapters I can safely skip.
These are the chapters I'm considering skipping:
--------------------------23. Drag and Drop (skip until I actually need any dragging and dropping)
24. NSTimer (I doubt I will need any delaying)
27. Web service (This one I'm not as sure about. For example, do auto-update mechanisms in Cocoa apps rely on web services, and hence, the info in this very chapter?)
30. Core data (because I'm not using CoreData. Not NSArrayController either. I'm going to code without them to start with.)
31. Garbage Collection (because I'm not using garbage collection)


32. Core Animation (don't see why I would need that)
33. A Simple Cocoa/OpenGL Application (again, don't see the need atm)
34. NSTask (again, no need apparent)--------------------------
So I just wanted to make sure you all agree with the chapters I am planning on skipping. Please consider especially the chapter 27 on web service, because if that update mechanism all Cocoa apps out there seem to have rely on the info in this chapter I will need to read it.
Thanks, U
