iPhone SDK Development Book (from Pragmatic Bookshelf)

The further I get into this book (iPhone SDK Development by Bill Dudney and Chris Adamson) from the Pragmatic bookshelf. The more I feel like this book was rushed out the door. Yes, it does have a great amount of content, more than any other book in the market. It covers allot of things, but I get the impression that this book was targeted for beginners, yet there's a few things gone wrong. There's not allot of code explanation, as to what method is doing what. They do assume that you have at least a little ObjC background, but that does not mean that just because you understand the language; you automagically understand every method or what they're trying to accomplish.

If you're a beginner in iPhone Development like myself, you're probably better of getting started with (Beginning iPhone 3 Development: Exploring the iPhone SDK by Dave Mark and Jeff LaMarche) from Apress. Both books are about the same in pages per book, yet Beginning iPhone 3 Development covers less subjects which leaves more room for explanations and understanding. The Pragmatic book is in my way of seeing it more like an extremely good Tutorial Reference and not a Beginners tutorial. Once you finished Beginning iPhone 3 Development then move on to the Pragmatics iPhone SDK Development.

You wont be disappointed with either as long as you know what you're getting into and what to expect. I hope you find this useful and if you don't completely agree feel free to drop a line and tell me I'm all full of *h*t :).
