Fantastic!
I’ve been learning programming for about 18 months and finally decided to get into iOS Programming. This book was recommended and I can see why. It gives you solid fundamentals in C/Objective-C. I’m now ready for the next installment, iOS Programming. When I’m working as in iOS Developer, I’ll owe it to Big Nerd Ranch.
