Should be here in a couple days
What do you mean? Those two statements appear to contradict each other.

Hey,
I am new to these forums, but I got the book. It is by no means a leap ahead in knowledge for what we already know. It was written pre-leopard, so it has a few out of date areas in it. However, the authors knowing this made some appropriate changes, in the appendix or on there website... I forget at the moment since I am at work.
It covers the history of mac OpenGL programming, so it is an interesting read. Covers all of the apple APIs, ranging from Core - NS, which was a great read. The 2nd half of the book is dedicated to explaining these API's, and why a developer would choose one over the other. Great advice on what to use if you want many different OSX versions to be compatable with the final product. Like I said, decent Leopard integration, however I felt it could have been better.
It gives a pretty good tutorial on Xcode Tools #C NSViews and such. Worth the $55 I got it for. (tutorial for 10.4 in the book chapters, and for 10.5 in the appendix) I remember now... the code is downloadable, although no errers were really listed online.
