While I am still in the first few chapters, it is clear I picked up a book that is a bit too out of date. Published in 2009, the examples in the book do not match the current Xcode software on my computer. That being said, the concepts they cover are probably universal, so I'll be reading it for that content and glossing over the details. It must be nearly impossible for these authors to get books out that are in agreement with the ever-changing world of computers. At least they have a full time job doing that (I hope).
