is this worth getting [the 3rd edition of Hillegass' Cocoa

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
