A good for beginners, but not for starting in Mac.
I've found this book a good introduction to C, it has refreshed my forgotten c knowledges with good explanations and examples.
But I haven't learned about Mac programming. Just one chapter and not in a depth way.

The greatest book!
Now this is what a programming book for the mac is supposed to be! From the beginning this book takes you on a tour introducing you to the mac and how to program it, with useful source code and good exsamples.

The only minor about this book is the fact it`s nearly 6 years old, but it`s not a big problem. It`s well written, and I can absolutely recommend it to everyone.

Quasi-helpful book
I have to admit, this book was very good at teaching me the concepts of programming (structures, pointers, variables, algorithm design, etc) but for learning the C language it was terrible. Very little Macintosh programming is covered at all, it's just the dry ANSI C. Needless to say, I did not know how to program after using this book. However, it was a useful guide (albeit a bit confusing at times) to learning the basics of programming.
