Great for a programmer to assist in the switch from other versions of C.

Great tool!! Product arrived on time and is as described!!

I like these "24 hour book series", that can be read over 7 or 14 days easily. IOS is moving really fast as mobile development has now become a must know for any developer. I especially likes the way Jessie deals with Blocks in hour 20 - simply put for the beginner. In hour 22, Jessie shows how to write GCD, although its simplicity is demonstrated, although there is more to GCD it gives a beginner enough as a starting point although more examples would be helpful.I was able to go through some of the hours(chapters) in mere minutes, giving on the feeling of accomplishing much within less than an hour, bonus!If you really want to learn Objective -C, then get this book.It will move you through the basics of Objective C with examples and enable you to start building apps quickly (gotta have a Macintosh to make things work :-) )

Awesome e book
