What readers are saying about
Core Animation for Mac OS X and the iPhone
Animation isn’t “eye candy.” It’s about making GUI experiences less
arbitrary and more comprehensible. The developers of Apple’s Core
Animation get this, and so does Bill Dudney. His book offers a deep,
thoughtful guide to the API and the ideas behind it.

It’s great to see a book for Mac developers that focuses on one topic
and does it well. Its pace is excellent and will allow you to have sim-
ple animations running in minutes. As t he book goes deeper into its
subject, it presents you with just th e right amount of information to
understand what you are doing so you don’t feel like you are just fol-
lowing instructions, yet it never turns into a dry reference manual
that overloads you w i th unnecessary detail.

As an early adopter of Core Animation technology for the creation of
Videator, I have but one regret: if only I had had Bill’s book, I would
have finished it in half the time!

Apple has abstracted the power of the underlying graphics engine that
has been in Mac OS X into a framework we can all use to improve the
user experience. Bill Dudney has given us a road map to that frame-
work j ust as Apple is providing the next new platform: th e iPhone
SDK. Now it’s time for us to make beautiful code.

This book is a great companion to Apple’s programming guide. Using

Cocoa application in just a few nights.
