Hi,
I am in the same situation so if you are prepared to join the
Association of Computing Machinery ($99) per year you can get access
to quite a few books on Objective-C, Mac programming via their
electronic books services (namely Safari). The book you mention is on
it as well as is "Programming in Objective-C" which although I bought
in its real form some time ago I can say is a good read for getting to
grips with the basics of the language before diving into Mac OS X
specifics. If you want to explore other languages you can find many on
Applescript and Python. So all in all the $99 per year I think is a
very good deal.
The ACM can be found at www.acm.org (please note I have no affiliation
within them beyond having been a member for years).
Hope this helps and saves you some cash.
Best,
rod
