Do you already know when Advanced Mac OS X Programming 3rd edition is planned to appear?

Nothing on SSL – I haven’t had a need to hit SSL directly, so I haven’t hit on it directly.

New topics include Objective-C 2.0 goodies (including some perversions of NSFastEnumeration), 64-bit programming, blocks, FSEvents, Dtrace and instruments, NSOperation, GCD, and other goodies. I’m not planning on touching OpenCL.

Cheers,

Well, think about it.

Anything on using SSL at all?

Do you have a list of the additional topics you are going to be covering?

Thanks.

Hi,

Wasn’t planning on SSL with sockets.

Forgot to ask, but does the 3rd edition of AMSOXP have anything in it about using SSL with sockets? Thanks.

Great to hear that the 3rd edition is coming out soon. I have the first edition and really like it. I was thinking about getting the 2nd edition, but will hold out a little longer. Thanks.

Hey MD. How are you??
Congrats and all the best on your new book.
I was looking for some books on Objective-C programming and here I found you.
Only thing that worries me now is .. I wouldn’t get this book in India

Hey there Mark, congrats on the updated Objective-C book. I reviewed it over on my blog http://www.markj.net, and included it in my picks of the best books for learning iPhone programming. You and Scott did a great job with this title. I’ve been promoting you hard every time I see someone post asking ‘how do I learn iphone development?’.

Cheers,

Thanks! I appreciate the nice review.

The current version of AMSOXP still has good stuff – a lot of the Posix subsystems haven’t changed that much. Third edition is kind of holding for Snow Leopard’s schedule – if SL comes out sooner rather than later, we’ll put SL into the third edition. Also, we’ll be teaching it again in february to help iron out wrinkles in what we’ve got so far.
