NeXTSTEP Programming STEP ONE: Object-Oriented Applications Initial buyer reactions to this important publication: Wonderful! Can't put it down! ..I only wish I had gotten this book six months ago, as it would have saved me weeks, if not months, of ramp-up time. ..EXACTLY what I NEED for my research! Outstanding! Finally, an attempt to encapsulate NeXTSTEP programming. Excellent book-well written, good examples, very thorough. Also a nice touch to include the source code examples on disk. Long overdue... ..an excellent resource that I wish I'd had a year ago!! When are "Step Two" and "Step Three" being released? This book is so helpful, I look forward to the next ones. Seriously, I would order them today! Thanks! Well done! Excellent! Best book on the market that deals with NeXTSTEP programming. NeXTSTEP needs good resources like this. Excellent reference, very lucid.
