Hi,

I just got this book, and I was wondering that even though its for 10.2, and I'm on 10.5, should I still read it? Are there any differences from that to now? (conceptual wise, disregarding objc)

Thanks

Objective-C is pretty much the same except for the few changes they made with Objective-C 2 but if you want to target the iPhone or 10.4 you can't use them anyway. The main difference is in Xcode and Interface Builder, everything else is pretty much the same. Just make sure you are not using deprecated functions and you will be fine.
 
You could also load XCode 2.5 into Leopard and work from there. It runs aside 3.0, and for a start, that's not too bad.

When you're finished and have a handle on what that book offered, you can consider moving forward into XCode 3.1.
