OS X Lion has over 250 new features, including a Mission Control Center, AirDrop for instant file sharing, Auto-Save and Versions, and Launchpad, which gives users instant access to every app on their Mac. Lion brings Tablet-style features to the desktop and laptop, integrating multi-touch gestures (inspired by iOS X and iDevices), full-screen apps, and a Launchpad for apps (that mimics the home screen for an iDevice). While Lion is not a major revolution in operating systems, it is filled with convenient interface tweaks that make it easier to use and more flexible than ever before.
Lion also borrows from Microsoft Windows the few user-interface features where Windows still had Apple beat and makes these features their own. Now users can resize windows from any corner (not just the bottom right) and enjoy the beauty and power of full screen apps. Ex-Windows users will also appreciate an update that now allows you to copy documents or folders from one location to another, even if a document or folder of the same name already exists in the new location. Just like Windows, Lion will let you choose to either merge or replace the existing folder, or copy the entire folder and add a number to the file name.
This guide will provide an overview of the new features in Lion, including multi-touch trackpad gestures, cover the basics of what to expect when switching to Lion fr

Programming in Objective-C, Fourth Edition
Updated for iOS 5 and ARC
Programming in Objective-C is a concise, carefully written tutorial on the basics of Objective-C and object-oriented programming for Apple's iOS and Mac platforms.
The book makes no assumptions about prior experience with object-oriented programming languages or with the C language (which Objective-C is based upon). Because of this, both beginners and experienced programmers alike can use this book to quickly and effectively learn the fundamentals of Objective-C.
Readers can also learn the concepts of object-oriented programming without having to first learn all of the intricacies of the underlying C programming language. This unique approach to learning, combined with many small program examples and exercises at the end of each chapter, makes Programming in Objective-C ideally suited for either classroom use or self-study.
The fourth edition of this book has been updated to cover the significant changes that first appeared in iOS 5 and Xcode 4.2, including the use of Automatic Reference Counting (ARC) to improve and simplify memory management in Objective-C programs.
“The best book on any programming language that I’ve ever read. If you want to learn Objective-C, buy it.”—Calvin Wolcott
“An excellent resource for a new programmer who wants to learn Objective-C as their first programming language—a woefully underserved market.”—Pat Hughes
