is this worth getting [the 3rd edition of Hillegass' Cocoa
Programming for Mac OS X] for someone who has the 2nd edition, hasn't
really read it intensively yet, and is just getting started with
Xcode 3?
The short answer is probably "No."
The examples and screen shots are all done with Xcode 3.1, apparently,
in the 3rd edition. There are some changes in Xcode 3.0 over 2.x,
particularly as regards Interface Builder integration and wiring up
delegates. If you already know these differences, then you don't need
this book.
Some of the material coverage has changed slightly. I believe that some
of the chapters have been rearranged. Some material removed, and some
material added. There looks to be more coverage of Core data in the 3rd
edition, and there is a chapter on garbage collection.
If you have a Safari account, then I'd suggest reading the 3rd Edition
on there, but if you have to spend money on it, and you already have the
2nd edition, then don't. There's really nothing in the 3rd edition that
you couldn't pick up from the Apple docs after doing the 3rd Edition.
Cheers,
Jason
