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.
