What a great method for teaching objective-c! I really like the use of illustrations, diagrams, and funky text to paint an image of what is being explained in text. It really captured my attention, and helped me comprehend the complex concepts a lot better than just the use of text. I think just being able to "see" what I was reading, really helped me to understand and retain more. I really believe if you self-study a lot, the visual aides are essential because you do not have an instructor to elaborate on the subject or to further explain a concept, so a lot of times you're searching other sources. The best part of the book in my opinion was the building of the sample applications and then deploying them to my phone. They didn't look as pretty as those in the app store, but given more time, they will. One thing I wish they covered a little more in this book was the whole developer set up on the apple developer portal (i.e. app ids, developer, provisioning and distribution certificates) the documentation is a little sparse, and needs more explanation. But I guess that would take an entire book just by itself. All in all, I feel the Head First series has a great teaching method that is highly effective and really works.
