Fast on the heels of the release of Mac OS X 10.0, O’Reilly began publishing a series of books as part of its ADC series, a joint-publishing agreement between Apple and O’Reilly.

Cocoa Design Patterns

As more users “Switch” from Unix and Windows to the Mac, programmers need to stay ahead of the curve and develop their applications using Apple’s Cocoa frameworks. This book illustrates the core design patterns of Cocoa programming, and transfers knowledge about the structure and rationale of Cocoa—something that isn’t covered in any other book in print. The book explains the essential patterns of objects that are used in Cocoa, and describes problems solved by Cocoa and the consequences of each solution. At the time of this writing, this book is still in development, but should be released by O’Reilly & Associates in the summer of 2003.
