Programming in Objective-C 2.0 LiveLessons Bundle

Programming in Objective-C 2.0 LiveLessons Bundle Review

I really like this book as an introduction into the Objective C language and quite frankly into the world of programming in general. The examples in the book are lucid which to me is the most critical part of any computer science book. The examples are also extended throughout the book which is nice because you have the ability to reuse the programs you create to further expand your understanding of the concepts. The book also does a good job explaining general object-oriented principles such as information hiding, polymorphism, dynamic binding, inheritance, dynamic typing etc. I would definitely recommend this book to either anyone interested in learning Objective-C from the ground floor or anyone looking to get a ground floor look at Object Oriented programming through a specific language. The book is more catered to the former than the later but if you are looking for both than this is certainly the book for you.

I am a graduate student in software engineering so I have come accross a lot of books on various subjects and this is certainly one worth buying.

This value-priced bundle contains both the bestselling book Mac/iPhone development book, Programming in Objective-C 2.0, and a complete video training course on the fundamentals of Objective-C, Programming in Objective-C 2.0 Live Lessons, Part I, with more than 8 hours of video training on DVD from author and trainer Stephen Kochan.

For the thousands of developers who want to develop applications for the Mac OS X and iPhone platforms but need an introduction to the programming language for those platforms, this bundle is the ultimate solution — the equivalent, in one package, of training classes costing hundreds of dollars.

Programming in Objective-C 2.0 LiveLessons covers the essentials of both Objective-C and object-oriented programming, making it ideal for beginners and experienced programmers alike. Expert teacher and trainer Stephen Kochan assumes no previous experience with Objective-C or C and uses a wealth of detailed examples to explain language features such as classes, objects, methods, data types, expressions, inheritance, polymorphism, exception handling, notifications, and preprocessing.

Customer Review

Some times a video is better - Barry Johnson - Sunnyvale, Ca USA
I was hoping this DVD would be available alone since I had already bought the book.
But I let someone else have the copy so not a big deal.
Video is one way I feel that amplifies my learning process.
I consider both very helpful and do think that some other authors should try this for new material.
I am hoping that volume 2 is just as helpful.
I do recommend this for new users to programming and new to Objective C.

Only one major flaw... - T. Berarducci - Granite Bay, CA
I really like this bundle. Yes, as some reviewers have pointed out there are some parts that seem amateurish. It looks like it was filmed in the author's bedroom. Not much production flash. But who the heck cares? If you want to learn how to program in Objective C 2.0, and that is all you care about, then I suggest you get this bundle.

My only warning is that the video DVD that comes with it is aptly named "PART ONE" because it only covers half of the book. I actually did not have a problem with this because I assumed if I liked the DVD I would be given the opportunity to purchase Part Two. NOPE. There is NO PART TWO. So if you like Part One you are out of luck. You have been warned.
