I wanted to say thank you for all the kind comments. I'm glad that some of you have found the book useful, and I hope the third edition meets your expectations. Writing a book is a daunting task, but comments like these make it seem like a worthy effort.
Also, I wanted to send some love to Scott Stevenson. Scott went through a draft of the 3rd edition and sent me a list of suggested improvements. A 20 page list! I think Grace said it best: "Oh, he's very popular Ed. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, waistoids, dweebies, dickheads - they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude."
Scott is a righteous dude.
When you write a 450 page introductory book, you can't cover everything that you would like. We, the proud engineers of Big Nerd Ranch, have already started writing an Advanced Cocoa course. In a year or so, this will probably become a book. The Advanced Cocoa book will include many of the topics that simply would not fit into "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X." For now, I ask for your patience.
