I did research on many books for the iPhone SDK that also served as an introduction to Objective-C since I was unfamiliar with the language. Many of these books did not explain concepts in very efficient ways or walk through examples in such a way that the knowledge was useful in both learning Objective-C and the iPhone SDK. This book, however, accomplished that task as far as I was concerned and served as one of the better hybrid books I came across in my research.
