The reason for the one-on-one format is that I want to get a feel for where different people are in their learning. Already, I've heard from total newbies, people with programming experience wanting to move into iOS, and people who have tri

I acquired this book when it was published in 2008, and I firmly believe my CS education would have been better for having had it several years before that. It's a very well-constructed course that can be completed by an amateur at a casual
