No, not at all.
I had nothing to do with the book. I didn’t even get a pre-release copy to read. I even bought my copy. (Although I think Erik offered to send me one)
I try desperately not to read third party books that cover areas I do until I’ve done so. I don’t want to be influenced, even by accident as far as their approach.
Erik and Don wrote the entire thing. Both of them are absolutely brilliant and have DEEP histories in the NeXT and OpenStep communities, not to mention that both wrote huge amounts of free Cocoa content for the (now defunct) Stepwise site. Sigh. Heart breaks.
My only connection with the book was I registered the domain and then the blog for them because Erik knows Cocoa, but is a wee bit light on the web stuff. :-) After that they took all that over and it’s in their hands.
