I read through Chapter 16 which covered some of the cool things you can do with the Xcode IDE. Some of it were reminders from the Kochan book while others were some new shortcuts. Man, I really like Objective-C and will do my best to become a good developer. Back to my self-esteem issues. You see, whenever I look online for solutions, I always see these elegant ones. That sets me off to think that everyone else is an expert while I am a doofus. Well, from reading the answers that people gave on the Hillegass blog, I now realize I am OK. The challenges in this book have been, well, not very challenging (so far). I am happy about this and can only thank Kochan for this.
I am now through chapter 17. Hillegass has compressed into 5-6 pages what Kochan put in like 30. I am not exactly sure which I like better. Here I kind of feel that if I started with Hillegass that I would have been terribly confused. However, the Kochan knowledge makes it seem familiar and in many cases, easy.
I am now past 100 pages on this book, more specifically page 105. Almost half way done. In terms of my next how-to book, I am thinking about whether I want to get that Xcode book next or go right to the iOS programming book. I think I may go to Barnes and Noble and look through the Xcode book and then make a decision.
