Description: This book is for anybody who knows how to program in C and wants to do something substantial with NeXTSTEP. Our goal is to get you up-and-running as quickly as possible. This isn’t a textbook or a reference manual –Brad Cox (the inventor of Objective-C) and the technical writing department at NeXT have already written those. This book is instead a jumpingoff point. Consequently, we will occasionally sacrifice depth for breadth viii Preface and brevity. You won’t learn all of the options of Interface Builder or all the obscure methods that the Text object implements by reading this book. But you’ll acquire the conceptual framework necessary to understand NeXT’s excellent documentation, enabling you to discover what you need to know about the Text object and everything else.
