Ask HN: Best book to get into iOS and Mac programming?

Reading document from Apple is the best way to start.

For books, I found the following are very helpful:

1) Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X (by Aaron Hillegass) 2) Cocoa Design Patterns (by Erik M. Buck and Donald A. Yacktman)

Thanks.

I am looking over the Apple documents now. I haven't come across Cocoa Design Patterns until you mentioned it. It seems like a good book.

Comparing to C++/Java, I felt that Design Patterns are more tightly integrated with Objective-C. So it is a very important subject to learn in Objective-C, imho.

And that is very good book for this important subject.

Good luck!
