Free Objective-C Programming For Dummies
To start, I wrote an 11,000 line program several years ago in C/Carbon. It drew graphics to the screen, did a lot of math in the background, and had ample buttons and menus. It was clear to me about 4 years ago that I had to rewrite the program in Obj-C/Cocoa if Apple was going to support the underlying code. So I bought several Obj-C books, including the leading two, to learn the new language. I worked all of the examples and thought that I knew something about objective programming. My biggest disappointments occurred when I would put the books down for a week and then start again. I really didn't know what I was doing except memorizing the examples. I just could not see the larger context or advantage of Obj-C. Something wasn't sticking with me.
Mr. Goldstein takes a very different approach from other programming books. His first example is a program that keeps tracks of spending while traveling in Europe. It is a classical C-program with a single C-struct. From this easy starting point each chapter changes only 2 or 3 things to make this simple example more and more object oriented as an Obj-C code. Each change is carefully explained. The mathematics of the spending program never really change so that is one less complication. In the last chapters the simple example is expanded to an app just to show how simple things can be.
Along the way Mr. Goldstein introduces the whole collection of NSObjects. This time, however, I understood how each step toward an object oriented code increases the generality of the code so that it can easily be modified in the future. Finally, I saw the whole forest instead of individual trees, and I can remember learnings from week to week. Now I use the two leading Obj-C books as references, but the Dummies book is always opened first.

Started to read it as it was a book for DUMMIES as it says in the cover but I couldn't follow.
