Cocoa Training. Should I delve into Apple documentation?

Question

I created some basic applications for iPhone and Mac with a general understanding of Cocoa, but did not have a detailed understanding. Now I want to go deeper.

I just finished Objective-C documentation in MacDevCenter. It was great to get a detailed look, but it took too much time, especially because many of them are conceptual, and it is difficult to create detailed examples to use the concepts.

Now I'm in Cocoa, but I feel that there will be too much work to go through 250 pages of documents for Cocoa itself, then KVC, Cocoa Bindings and Core Data.

Would it be better for me at this stage to put together a good book on Cocoa (Hillegass' is too meager, I think), or should I just bite the bullet and go through the documents?

Answer 1

The Hillegass book will lead you to free documentation every time it doesn't make sense to be “funny” (that is, any other paragraph) anyway, so if you just don't want to give it $ 40 you will be much better off Apple gives you free. At least you won't pick up any of his terrible user interface design habits.
